Clunking noise after lowering spring install

alan49121 · 06-15-2015, 09:45 PM

I just installed lowering springs on my Z but now there is a clunking noise coming from the front suspension I cant pinpoint the exact location where its coming from. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it just be until they are broken in?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you had it aligned since installing the springs?

If the springs are on correctly? I would double check that everything is tight.

IF everything is tight? I would suspect maybe the sway bar bushing may need grease.

This will only apply IF you're running an aftermarket sways like maybe Hotchkis.
