So bout a week after I had my 18's installed I started hearing a weird sound sort of like when you sit on an old couch and the springs make a creeking sound coming from the passenger rear. I jacked it up today and the passenger spring looks bent or something, when I get my oil changed at the local dealer when its on the lift the spring can pretty much come out by hand. So im thinking that it got out of place and settled wrong. But im not sure if thats where the sound is coming from..any ideas? I think it may be an excuse to purchase a better lowering kit!
The second coil from the bottom is hitting the bottom coil. It doesnt bottom out when I hit bumps or anything and it doesnt make that sound if i steer right only when i steer left and put pressure on the rear passenger suspension.
