Pounding Noise When Turning.

My setup is Tokico HP Blues with Ground Controls on my 05 Civic. Problem is when im driving and i make a right turn (not a very slow one) there is this pounding sound coming from the left side of the suspension. Sounds likes its bottoming out but when i drive straight it rebounds still. it only happens when i turn right or when i hit big bumps. Thanks in Advance.

How low is your drop?
Most likely it bottoms out or slown strut.
May be loose strut bolts/nuts.

I put the coils as high as i could. i have like a finger and a half gap in the front. It feels like it bottoms out but when im driving straight it rebounds. . . i dont get it. I took the strut off yesterday and i tested its resistence and it was fine. Could it be that somethings loose? or I'm missing something?

check all of the nuts/bolts to make sure they're tight.
if thats not the prob, it may be the spring binding because it isnt settled yet. sometimes it can take a couple weeks for the springs to seat right.
