I have a problem i believe.

I have eibach sportlines with eibach camber kit and stock shocks.

i have 2 subs in a closed box in trunk as well.

well on the rear right side when i turn and put pressure on that side of the car it sounds like a something is slightly popping when pressure is put on that side. i am not sure if its just the springs or what but, my shocks seem fine when i bounce the rear of the car up and down. The sound is very quite not loud at all just enough to make you notice. It almost sounds like something is grinding together back there. should i worry about this???

Thanks,
Injen

im not sure what might be wrong, but take out the whole strut and re-tighten the top nut that holds in the spring. then put it back and make sure you tighten everything else. if it still makes that noise, check the camber kit (stock or aftermarket) and make sure nothing is loose. inspect everything on that side, even the sway bar and endlinks (if you have an EX).

those are the only problems i can think of.

hope this helps

i hear a very quite popping sound in the back of my car, i have skunk2 coilovers, stock shocks and also have 2 12's in a box in the trunk. i am sure my shocks are blown, and i think the sound is coming from them. you should check your shocks because maybe you just can't hear the sound when your bouncing the rear up and down. hope this helps

If you have an EX, did you check the anti sway bar?
