What is this noise? BC Racing BR Series Coilovers
Maybe you guy's can offer your opinions on a Front-end noise I'm having since installation of my BC Racing Coilovers.
I bought my car with H&R lowering springs on the stock shocks, but they were too bouncy and there was a slight rattling noise when I drove over bumpy pavements and big bumps from the front left strut (driver's side), which I assumed was a bad strut mount...therefore I bought a brand new set of BC Racing Coilovers. After installation I got a new noise but this one was a more consistent & annoying noise, it sounded lower than the original noise I had with stock shock, it's like a clunking/knocking noise going over the smallest bump, uneven pavement and I can feel it under my left foot, almost as if something is loose. I had an alignment shop full inspect my car, they re-torqued all bolts, subframe and checked all bushings & sway-bar bushings and they said everything looked great! We also re-checked the installation & pre-load on the coilovers...so now I'm dumbstruck on what it could be...I'm starting to wonder is it's the steering rack, which I hope not...lol Any suggestions? |

Prob is the steering rack. When i installed my er charge pipe i got a similar constant knocking/vibration and i was able to feel it on the foot rest, the pedals, and up to the steering wheel. When i saw under my car my cp barely had clearnce b/w steering wheel and lower end of the upper charge pipe.

Check if its the nut on the sway-bar link upfront. My buddy mentioned that for some odd reason his won't fasten into place and had to check if it was loose every other week.
