Knocking noise on bumps after installing new struts
After I had a shop install some new KYB GR2 struts on my 02 EX, every time I hit a small bump or even a bend in the road there's a knocking noise, I think from the front struts. I don't think the struts are designed for lowered cars (and my car is stock height).
What's causing this and can it be fixed?

prolly not indexed properly (they didnt align the arrow marks on the shock housing). has nothing to do with lowered car or not, i had stock shocks on lowering springs and they didnt make a sound.

Do you know if I drive like 500 miles with these misaligned struts if that will damage them permanently? I'm thinking of taking my car to a trip to Six flags (my gf's car sucks)
