Popping noise when turning (new springs)

I just installed tein s springs and there is a popping noise when turning at low speeds. I have read forums that the struts were not installed properly and I know how to fix it, but the question is that I am about to get the car aligned at Meineke and wanted to know if this alignment will fix this popping issue? I don't want to waste my time trying to fix it myself if getting this car aligned will solve the problem as well. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: Popping noise when turning (new springs)

No the alignment will not fix the noise. Alignments don't touch the suspension, they just move the whole suspension into specs. If you read how to fix it, then why would an alignment fix your problem? Read the FAQ and indexing thread.

Re: Popping noise when turning (new springs)

from what i read, it is a misalignment of the top bearings, mounts, and struts, so i did not know if getting an alignment will fix this or not.
