  • installed front sportline springs!!!

    Got em installed, gotta admit, it handles great, still nice and firm, soft when you want it to be. But i am having a problem. The drivers side is knocking when i hit a bump. Suspension feels fine, I just cant identify the noise. Anyone know what it may be? Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

        Can overtightening the bushing do that!? WE tightedned it, naot crazy tight, but what we thought was enough. its threaded on with about 1/4" of threads showing. What do you think. Both sides do it now after more driving.

          I took off the dust covers and loosened the bushing, still getting that noise. Its sounds horrible.

            If you replaced your shocks its your shock bolt that holds it to the shock assembly. I had the problem when I installed my shocks and springs. I reused the stock nut and it didn't tighten down all the way and the shock was able to move about 1/4" and caused a loud thump noise when I drove it.

              Does that mean I have to get a new shock assembly?
