Hey I have an 02 accent that makes a chirping sound if the clutch is out but stops when I push the clutch in. I cannot find any info regarding this, does anyone have any idea what this is? I also am lookinng for a rear anti-sway bar but I cannot find a company that still makes them. Does anyone know of a company that still offers said part?

Sound is the throw out bearing, mine is doing it from time to time (elantra) I think whiteline makes the swaybar, but im not sure where to get it now.

If its the bearing how hard is it to change and should it be done right away? I had the clutch replaced about 2 months ago and this started happening about 3 weeks ago.

I have heard whiteline made one but I cannot locate one anywhere. Ultra racing did at one time too but I just get the same results

The noise is the throw-out bearing. Sometimes putting a little grease on the end will help/stop the noise (there is a thread explaining this). Mine's been making noise for years, I just ignore it.



Ultra racing still makes a rear sway bar for our cars, not too sure if it's still going on but we had a group buy happening. There is a thread on this site about it.

A squeaky TOB is not entirely uncommon for this car. As stated before, try to lubricate it and see how you do. They might not have (very lightly!) greased the right parts when the clutch was replaced. Service OR replacement of the bearing involve dropping the transmission. It is an advanced DIY, but it is doable if you have the tools.

Thanks for the help.
