    I just lowered my car using Eibach sportline kit, and now my passanger side strut is making a grinding noise. Sounds like rubber in a tight area getting pushed around. They kit came with new bumpstops so i installed them and its only the passenger side making this aweful noise, any ideas?! it is driving me nuts. Thanks in advance !

    It makes the noise when? Turning? Going over bumps?

    You may not have seated the spring properly onto the upper or lower rubber seat, or a washer in upper mount might be grinding the rubber that surrounds the guide that the strut is supposed to slide through to mount the nut (did that make sense? I can't explain it any other way).

    I'd just bite the bullet and take the assembly apart and rebuild it.

    i just got back home and found out it mostly makes the noise when i turn right, even when i am at a stop. it was worse at first, now that i driven it ,it doesnt make it as much but still when i turn ur hit a bump ith that wheel.
