Alright, well I put in new Tokico HPs over the weekend. After installing the new shocks, I have an awful awful awful sound coming from the rear driver side shock. Every time I hit even a hairline crack in the road my car sounds as if it's going to fall apart...any ideas? I'm so sick of noises in my Maxima. hahaha ugh

The noise is kind of like a bang..it bangs with the expansion and contraction of the spring.

When I first installed the shocks on Friday, they were silent. By Sunday they were a little clunky. Now they're so obnoxiously loud that I cannot stand to drive the car...I'd rather drive my girlfriend's 2000 Malibu >_<

 

Check that all the nuts and bolts are tight. Check the plate in the trunk that the top of the strut mounts in, check that the spring is in the seat top and bottom.

 

dismount it and check it visually and then put it back together

 

^ This. And no need for two exact threads on the same subject.
