D.B.M Please help. Intermittent Suspension noise.

Ok. I have a 97 GXE with 97 SE suspension that me and a couple of friends installed. Overall it came out good except occasionally I hear a strange noise. It's a clunk of some sort. This happens maybe once or twice a day. It happens when I'm making a turn. Any ideas on what it could be?
Thank you.

Also, another thing. Travelling on the highway at 70-80mph I can hear a whistle coming through my windshield. Is the "hose technique" the only way to deteremine the problem area and how is it possible to fix it.

Thanks a lot.

Anton

That's how my problems started. Probably either a blown strut.

It can't be a blown strut. The suspension I installed only has 13k miles on it.

Are the springs seated correctly? Did you install the rubber sleves on the ends?
