I recently installed my strut bar on my 98 talon esi. well when i did this i noticed i didnt have to much room between it and my intake manifold i believe ( the part where your intake bolts on it) so i turned the bar different ways till i could get the biggest gap between that part and my bar. well right now its about 1/8th of an inch. then i noticed now when i go in reverse out of parking spaces and other places where i have to cut the wheel semi sharp i get this clicking noise. i took my car to the dealership where i had bought it because my tranny is banging into gear. they said it was the strut bar that is making my car make this noise. is that a load of poop or does anyone else have this problem if you did please let me know how to correct it. thank you
 
You might be out of strutbar fluid :D j/k

Sounds like an axleshaft is clicking. As for the tranny check your shift linkage under the hood.
