It might just be when you jacked the car, when you do this from one side, the sway bar puts a lot of stress and tension on the endlink... when i installed my springs, it was almost impossible to reinstall, but when the car was on the level ground, it was a real breeze to put back...

riding without a endlink, i'm pretty sure you would've noticed something, you porbably would've heard a big clunking noise from the sway bar moving...

the thing is my car makes alot of strange noises. Between the exhaust, supercharger, coilovers and the tires hitting the fenders the makes all sorts of bangs, rattles and clanks. I do hope I would have noticed some thing like that though.

The only noise my supercharger makes is a kind of high pitched whistling sound at certain RPM... The exhaust is pretty loud compared to stock and long drives at 70 MPH get very uncomfortable after an hour or so.

My SC is definitely not making any clanks, bangs or rattles but it does have added noise to every thing

Ciggy try Google or the yellow pages for a local area chrome and alloy rim repair-refinishing shop, I'm sure they can match it up with your rims.
