Just Installed Eibach / KYB GR-2

I just finished installing the eibach / kyb combo and I can hear cracking, popping noises when I drive. Is that normal, or did I mess up during the install?

Cracking and popping huh ... How's the ride? And I doubt that noise is normal. I'm sure others will be able to comment on this but as of yet, I haven't ventured into those waters because Nissan can't get my suspension right.

Check out this thread to make sure it was installed properly.

There should not be any popping noises.
Presumably, the noises are in the front of the vehicle.
There has been a lot written on this subject.
Use your search functions.

Best of luck!

BTW Post any pictures you have of the install to get more help.
The more info, the more help you will get.

i know a truck is different, but i replaced springs on a bronco and heard similar noises for about a week or so. i think they were settling/getting in place. after a week, the ride was good and quiet.
