2003 lowering problems, bad noises

I got tokico blues, eibach sportlines and a full eibach camber kit installed about 2 weeks ago. I've put on over 2000km since then. I have crazy popping noises in the front when I turn my wheels in park. They also creek and crack while taking a corner. But the weird noise comes from the back. If I drive like 25 and jerk left than right I get another popping noise at each wheel in the back. this same noise also happens when I drive over a speed pump at an angle, both on the way up than down. Now the funny part. The guys who did the install forgot to tighten down the shocks in the back. But they still charged me full price. lol. The nut on top of each shock and one support nut on each shock. Now could this have lead to any of my noise problems in the back end? Are my shocks screwed now? Since I drove about 1500km like this till I figured the rattling of the washers than tightened down everything. Thanks To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: 2003 lowering problems, bad noises

sounds like the shop just messed up the install. i bet they are not indexed properly, among other things.

no doubt the shop messed up!!! I"ll check into the top mount bearings and indexed deal with a different shop. No need to take it back to original installer. It sucks not knowing anything about cars and trying to argue with the shop.
