Question Front right strut rattle...

Okay, I lowered my car with a set of Sprint springs (2.0" drop all around) about 3 weeks ago. On Tuesday, I noticed a sound coming from the front of the car, I havent been able to pinpoint the location of the sound, but its coming from my front right strut. The car rode fine since the install. But now its starting to act up. The sound sounds like a rattle. Seems as if the strut assembly is loose, and shaking around, only happening when I drive over bumps in the road. I havent had a chance to take off my wheel and diagnose it, but anyone with any experience in this field, your help will be greatly appreciated.

It's normal. I used to have Sprint springs too, but all people (even some stock) get it.

Search this section for an answer. Something with the Tie Rod hitting something... there's a TSB out for stock owners.
