For those who remember about my steeda c/c plates, mach1 shocks/struts, and H&R SS springs-
I was having some major noises coming from the front suspension after a shoddy install by a no name shop.. clunking over bumps, thought it was improperly mounted struts on the camber plates
my uncle and i ripped apart the suspension and installed it the right way- its now tight as can be against the plate and the metal to metal contact noise is gone.
HOWEVER
there is still another noise- a loud clunking that was also there with the noise from the struts hitting the camber plates
after 3 hours of taking apart the suspension numerous times, we finally came across the noise. It is the rack and pinion- I turn the steering wheel side to side while the car is still, and it clunks just like it does over bumps. I felt the rack as my uncle turned the wheel and it is definitely that.
Im going back to the shop tomorrow, but how could they have screwed up the rack by simply doing an install!?!?!?????
