Hey guys,

I just lowered my car today with Eibach/tokico's and every bump i hit, there is a knocking sound. It sounds like i have coilovers or something of that sort. Any ideas? I think it may be loose bolts but my bud's gonna use his power tools and tighten them again tomorrow. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Thanks

are u runnin over the bumps at 100mph? if u are u might be bottomin out.. other then that i dunno

 

I put toks/eibachs on my 3rdgen. I notice all sorts of bumps and rattles now. The sunshade, stuff in my truck, body panels...

 

been there done that...something is loose...go back and make sure everything is tight...i had the same problem and i found the bolt attaching the sway to the strut assembly was a little loose...

 

I had a clicking sound coming from the rear because I didn't put that spacer (that thin pink sheet) back on exactly right. SO when I was going over bumps it would rub on something and make a clicking sound.

 

The piston lock nut is loose. You know the one that's right at the top of the strut assembly and inside the engine compartment. Tight that sucker down really good. I forgot the spec. I believe it's like 75 foot/lbs
