I just installed the H-Sport lower rear control arms, Alta Endlinks, Eibach 19mm rear-swaybar and wheel alignment done. I'm not sure why the rear is making metal clanking noise at low speed from 0-40mph. My initial thought was the endlinks that making the noise but I just want some more opinion on this.
Endlinks and rear sway bar can be noisy. If you have a lift, put the car up. Take each component and move it to see what noise is there. Tighten up everything again. Did you grease up the poly stuff. Lots of grease.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a lift but I will check it with the jackstands. I put plenty of grease into the poly bushings but wouldn't mind re-grease them again. What kind of grease do I need to buy since I already used up all the grease that came with the parts ?
It turns out that the endlinks were loosen. I guess they never tightened it after the alignment and worst of all they dent the inner wheel curbs, all 4 of them :'(

Don't overtighten them as there has to be some movement in the eyelets...
