Installed Springs, now popping in front.

I just installed H&R springs two days ago. At the time, there was no noises/problems.

Today as I'm leaving Safeway with my General Tso's, the front right wheel is heard popping as I turn left or right. It only did it for a short time, could this possibly be the spring unseating/reseating itself? Any other suggestions? I know it's not a CV...

Did it used to do it before you lowered the car? If not, then your strut bearings are probably shot.

hey, same thing happened when i installed my sprints. it's an easy fix. just jack up your car on the noisy side. reach in and twist your spring until it stops turning. it should only turn a couple of inches. i did this to my max and the noise went away immediately. good luck.

Yep. It seems to have magically unseated itself. I took it back out, reinstalled the strut with the spring reseated, and all is well.
