Huh??? WHATS WRONG???

Ok...I just lowered my car today with Tanabe DF210s. When I got in the car and drove, I hear this clinking noise from all four wheels (I think it's all four). Not like a rattle but more like when you have something in the trunk and it rolls around(that kind of noise) (It also sounds like somethings loose ( I think). Do I just need to break in my new springs or what??? Oh yeah...my key is stuck in my car I repeat STUCK in the ingnition thingy...It started today..This never happened to me before. What do you guys think is wrong??? Man....today is suppose to be a good day...a day when I get to install my springs, but all of the crap has to happen to ME. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]

EDIT: The spring installations, I gave it to CNC Motorsports to install them for me. As for the key thing...I forgot to mention when they handed me the car back(CNC) they could not put it in Park. But now it could...does this have anything to do with it...

Note: I changed my AT shift thingy to Manual look(boot). Could this part of the key problem???

did you remember to tighten the nuts at the end of the struts....(the three on the top of each shock....
2 under the hood, and 2 in the trunk...behind the carpet wall)

i hope you tighten them before you drove...

as for the key...

LOCKSMITH! or take the bitch to HONDA!

If its a clicking noise that sounds kinda like plastic on plastic it could be the upper strut plates. They could be off by 180 degrees.


This seems to also cause the steering to stick after making a corner. (ie not return all the way to center)

Thanx guys...I got it to work...it was the little bulb that was stuck between the auto shifter. (the bulb that turns on at night so you can see DRD3D2D etc. it stopped me from putting it in park, and so I could not get the keys out.

But thanx alot though guys. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
