Why do I clunk?

[smithers_0990]

I just got new springs and struts, and since I put them in the rear clunks when I hit a larger bump.

Whats the deal?

Bump...

i just put in new springs and struts (eibachs + hps) and i dont get any clunking. i cut the bumpstops in half when i installed them. maybe should check if everything is tight?

which struts?

i had a clunk at first when i installed my lowering springs. check the cup washer thing on the top of the rear struts and make sure it sits like a cup, and not upside down. it worked for me. http://www.msprotege.com/vbb230/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25438

Did you put the rubber spring seat back in? In your other post you mention you didn't put them in. This could be the noise...

mine is the fact i couldn't get the sway bars completly tightened back up when reinstalling them. once a get some socket allen wrenches i will be able to fix it.

Yes, I put the rubber deal back in.

My endlinks are tight. I want to kill the person that designed our endlink bolts.

I will have to try flipping the cup like thing over (mine are facing down).

Thanks

If you bought Skunk2 coilovers you best get used to the clunking. Pretty much everyone here who as them (me too) experiences clunking noises every once in awhile. Depends on the weather i think? But anyway, ya, its a Skunk2 trademark.

I used the Testors Model car paint. Its the stuff that you use to tint the model car windows.

I want to redo it but Im afraid if I take my left light off it will break into a million peices cause its cracked already.

Sorry it took so long to answer.
