Suspension making noise... Vogtland/Koni

[ny02s4]

I just had my suspension installed about 2weeks ago. The first few days everything seemed fine until one day i started hearing a minor clunk/spring type of noise only on the driver front. It mainly happens when driving at lower speeds and the car is going over small dips or bumps. I thought maybe it was the spring itself but why would it only happen on the drivers side? Could it be anything else like a control arm or link or even a bad bushing? Is there anything i can look for in there when i have the wheel off?

thanks,

Anthony

From AW search: "Clunking is probably an improperly tightened nut/washer. It could also be that the bolts were not torqued down with the suspension under load (and at ride height). That is crucial in making a quiet suspension."

Do search on AW, you will find more about this. Unfortunately, it is a common problem due to improper suspension install. This goes for both coil overs and springs/shocks.
