    Hey guys! It's been some time since I installed my sexy S-Tech springs on the stock struts. It starting to ssound like the struts themselves are not tightened enough in front. Could it be that they are stock struts and can't handle the lowering rate from the s-techs? I do understand if the sound is in the rear, I need to get adjustable camber kit. Could it also be needed for the front as well?

    If the struts are blown from the drop of the S-techs, you would definitely feel the difference in ride quality. The rate at which the vehicle rebounds would be a lot slower and your body roll would be really bad.

    If its a metal clanking sound, it might be a loose top nut. Do you feel it when driving or through the steering wheel?

    hey Mengsta. I wouldnt say i feel it while driving. I mostly hear it, when driving going over bumps in the road. Hear it more when I go over speed bumps. When i go over the speed bumps, I go slow as possible. Just sounds like the struts are loose or something. Dont think the struts are blown but wouldnt hurt to check lol.

    No I don't think your struts are blown either. Sounds like a loose bolt.
