It feels like something is way loose and like something it tapping on something when i drive over rough surfaces. I just put in illumina struts and didnt notice before. What are some things i can check? yes all bolts on the struts are tight. i bought the struts used, could they be what is making noise? It feels real unstable is 1 sound is coming from the driver side near the struts and the other, a different kind of sound, from the passenger side same area. But i think the sound coming from the passenger side is due to shot bushings on the LCA. Thanks for the help,

God bless,
Matt

 

This might be a dumb suggestion but are you sure it isn't just some exhaust pipe lose or something?

 

ill check, but im doubting because i didnt touch any of that and didnt have the issue on the driver side before.

 

I tossed my Illum's due to them becoming clunky over time.
You got them used, what is their history? Miles, spring they were on ect???

 

i was told 8k miles with H&r springs and I still have the h&r springs on them now on my car.

 

check your tie rod ends....mine does something similar and i need to replace one.....but i'm lazy lol

 

alright, will check tonight

 

i agree check tie rods, also check your lower ball joints, theyre sitting at a different angle now, and any built up oxidation that may have occured on the outside of the ball could now be a little on the inside of the socket.
