Alright, last evening I put my front two coilover springs on. They are made by R1 racing. I put them on the stock struts. The way I put them is is put the threads down first. Then put the spring on. Then I put the top piece of the spring. Then the smaller rubber piece that goes under the strut tower top, and the other piece, washer, and then nut. Put it all back together. All seemed to bc fine, but today when I was driving, the right side seems to make a sound. It makes it when I have the wheel turned to the left. I'm really not sure what it is, could it be something in the coil assembly? Or maybe something like the antisway bar link bolt, or other bolts that I had to remove the job?? The sound it makes sounds like metal touching some metal. Please let me know if you have any helpful hints, thanks-Bob

what kind of sound is it, a knock, clank, rattle. its hard to tell what the problem could be without know what it sounded like. does it do it just when you are turning, or when you go over bumps as well.

the sound is sort of a clank, clank, clank, speeds up with the speed of the car. I think it may be this feeling indicator that is by the brake pads, but I'm not totally sure. Just wandering if something like this is normal, or expected with coilovers

Did you use a torque wrench when putting your car back together? you need to torque all of your bolts properly to be safe.

Mind makes a clank at low speeds...Skunk 2 coilovers with Illuminas

what could be clanking from not being torqued down properly?? I didn't use a torque wrench, but I did put pleanty of torque on it, or so I think. The only bolt that I think that I could have messed up on is the sway bar link, but is that capable of making a clanking sound when turning to the left only??? Everything seems to be okay, just making this annoying sound...Please let me know if you have any info, thanks
