Question Possible strut problem?

Well today was the fourth time I've take my 02 Si in to the Honda dealership. I have a noise (something like a klunk, rattle noise) whenever I pull into a driveway, go over bumps, railroadtracks etc...and they say this is normal. Is it? Or, could it be a strut problem maybe? It's driving me crazy!!!

Please help

Put coil wraps around the bottom 2 coils on the front springs.

A friend of mine told me yesterday that when I have the car lowered with the Mugen setup, the problem would be solved. So, we'll see.

Coil wraps only cost a few dollars and a good technician. Search this forum for this problem.

This is a common problem with the 7thgen so there's a wealth of information on the boards for you to look at as suggested by Lek.

I'm gonna lock this.
