loud clank noise from koni's

whenever im driving straight, theirs no noise.. but theres only noise whenever i turn the wheel or hit a bump.. I looked at it, and i used a jack on the drums and raised it, it makes a really loud pop noise, i'm not sure if its from the spring, or the shock, the back is fine tho. please help..

I have the exact same problem now with the exact same setup.
BUT it only happens from the passenger front, and its only if im driving really really slow or stopped and turn the wheel.
I searched found 1 thread about it, but there where so many different answers im not sure....
it is annoying, and if you figure out what it is ild love to know.

no its none of the bolts, i think its the control arm, something about that joint, but i contacted edward at true honda and he told me to lube it up.

i also found a few threads about it, it could be because i didnt properly index them, or something is loose. i am not sure, but my sounds are also coming from the passenger front.

If they are not indexed properly yes that can cause some noise when turning. Did you get the right size inserts? 01-and some 02 are 50mm and 03-05 are 55mm.

could be the upper pillow mount. i have the noise on my driver side when i turn the wheel, have a friend sit in the car and turn the wheel. you'll see the mount turn when the pop happens.

this is caused by not lining up the mount when you reattach it after putting the springs/shocks together

Having same prob... Passenger Front making sounds when i hit small bumps...

It made the sound with STOCK and still with my Tokico springs and struts.

Someone please figure it out the sound reallly bothers me.
