Hey guys I have Tein Basics installed and I'm getting a clunking sound in the front drivers side everytime I hit a bump. I used the 01 front bearings and I don't have the rear dustcover problem. I've searched the site but found nothing. The noise only happens when I hit a bump. Is this noise normal? Thanks

Some people are having problems with the dong sound coming from when turning the suspension. I believe that this is what is causing it, and will help if you do what is in the picture below. I used white lithium grease for mine.Even though we did not use any grease, I recommend doing it just in case.This pic was taken from Hondamans how to and I just added the arrows and such.
got it from ephatch. that should help.

I don't hear anything when I turn, just when I hit a bump in the road.
I don't wanna unscrew any bolts yet, I just got an alignment. I'll try to just jack up the car and grease up around the bearing like in the picture you posted.
Thanks

I found the problem. It was the 17mm bolt on top of the strut. I just popped the hood and tightened it. no noise. Thanks guys!
