NEED HELP!! Maxspeed craking noise!!

i took my car to the motorsport shop to put my maxspeed back on this weekend. when i got back, i realized there was some abnormal craking sound when i was making slow turns or passing some of the dips. Wizzamax told me the spring logo should be readable and the logo should facing u...then it's the problem with the center nut. so....what's the technique to adjust them?? or is there any more causes that made the spring have cracking noise?

thanks

Hey skyjay617, I have the same noise, well it's because they forgot to remove the rubber on the Nissan original spring and put the rubber back on the first lower coil of your maxspeed, it crack only when I turn at maximum radius, easy to install but they will need to remove the spring to put back the rubber.

Hope my explanations help.

Cheers
