knocking sound after shcoks and spring installation

[kenjin]

after i install my eibach sportline and some tokiko shocks my car drives weird now...you will here a knocking sound like somethings loose...or its rubbing something..is it because my car is too low now or what??..any ideas??...it kinda sounds like a loose wheel and a flat tire too..

[GenDBlade]

how low did u drop it?
what size are the rims?
also cheak all the tires. make sure their pressure is correct.
make sure all the rims are torqued on correctly.

the tires may be rubbing on the fender when u go over bumps and around turns.

get under your car and check every bolt, also check your strut towers
make sure your rims are on tight as well

Make sure you didn't put the rears in the front and the fronts in the rear. Or you didn't put them in upside down. My friend did one of those mistakes and I was surprised he could still drive it. It gave his car a clunking noise in the rear.

im not sure how low it is..but i would sat around the 2 inch drops..my rims are stock..we checked all the tries already and even took all 4 off and put it back on..im not sure if its put on correct though..i had a friend gave tham to me off his accord so i think he would but it on correctly...

just to make sure the long shocks go in the back right??

yeah the ones with the U-shaped thing on the bottom...and mine did it too ended up being that the bolt that was one the top of the tower was stripped and didnt really hold any pressure on the spring... i replaced the bolt but i still have that noise sometimes and if its makings a noise in the front when u brake or turn then get an alignment cause i know my control arm was hitting the side of my wheel and that took care of it

thats it..i guess..i look at it earlier and it seems like the right front wheel was hitting the control arm...everytime i turn right i hear the sound or if i am on a bumpy road then i can hear it...it sounds like going over those yellow things on the middle of the road right??

yeah that or kinda a popping noise and thats funny cause thats the same wheel that mine was doin it on but the alignment fixed it
