    Subtle clunking noise after suspension install

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just installed my b8 shock / neuspeed springs, and couldnt be happier. I get no noises going over bumps, but when the vehicle is moving slower (10-20mph) and only a larger turning radius, a subtle noise can be heard like a clunking or popping. At idle it also does the noise but it is very quiet. I move the steering wheel one way then it does it on the way back.

    All the bushings were torqued at ride height, i didnt forget the strut washers, new strut mounts were installed, and all bolts were torqued to spec.

    Any ideas?

    Really crank down on everything even if it feels right.

    I had clunking for months, checked the bolts a few times too. Finally found that bottom bolt on the strut was "loose" took a lot to tighten it but that was it.

    Re-torque after riding around for a bit. THings will settle in. That should fix it. Did you get alignment done?

    Planning to re-torque everything after I install new control arms & hardware. For now I think it's fine since it's not a daily. Wondering whether I should get a kit or just replace with poly bushings. Anyway, the car sits about 24.75 FTG right now.
