Question Uprated ARB problems ?

I recently fitted a set of Eibach anti roll bars (and powerflex rear droplinks) to my bugeye. Seemed fine at first but then started knocking on the front passenger side. I checked all the bolts and adjusted the position slightly but still knocking. I have refitted the original just to confirm that it is the ARB and the knock has gone ! Annoyed to say the least but also puzzled as to how the new ARB can cause knocking ? There were no obvious signs of anything catching ?

What front links are you using, mine were Whiteline, replaced under warranty !

If they are, they need regular lubrication, or they will knock.

No need to change from std drop links on the front, as they are solid from the factory.
Not to mention better sealed than the aftermarket ones.

I used the standard solid ones, read somewhere that the only worthwhile Whiteline upgrade had bearings rather than poly bushes and these require regular lubrication. Anyone got any ideas ?
