Need help guys =[

i just installed my tein ss on my 04 coupe, the car rode great for a few weeks. tonite i had hit a speedbump pretty hard and right after that i started hearing clicking sounds from my rear. alignment is okay. i dont know what is wrong. did i blew the rear shocks? the SS were used by the way, about afew month from a previous user from this site, but when i bought it everything look great. Is it a installation problem? any input would be helpful.

thanks guys

its the cv boots hitting the threads. it happened to me too when i just installed my basics. just take off ur wheel and you should see it on the bottom of ur strut, just get a blade and trim alittle off.

its either that or ur nuts are loose or ur missing a washer somewhere.

or just let it wear itself out. Mine did that at first too, but after a little bit of driving the noise goes away. but the proper way to do it would be to just trim it up.

Re: Need help guys =[

if you blew a shock there would be oil everywhere. look at the coilover is it covered with dirt and gunk?
