After installing the shrockworks skid plates (aluminum) whenever I hit the slightest bump at low speed it sounds like someone jumping around on a ancient bed. I went under and torqued some bolts down and it got rid of it for an hour, and now we are back at square one with creaking except the bolts are snug. I noticed the install from the store I used was a little off. The skid plate is rubbing the sway bar, but that is not where the squeaking noise is coming from it’s coming from the front end now.
Anyone else have this issue with ShrockWorks skids?

You would be amazed on how noise will travel. My suggestion do something that will make the sway bay not rub the skid plate. Once that is done re check it.
