whats Knockin?!?!?

[mborg1]

ok i just got my car lowered with the pro-kit...now after i drove the car home i hear something knocking in the rear everytime i hit a bump, pot hole or uneven pavement...i tried to check the trunk to see if the spare tire lid was the one but i used velcro to stop it from moving. so i took the back deck apart and checked if anything wasnt tight...but i still hear the freakin noise...what can it be??? does anyone have the same issue???...
i might go back to the place that did my installation...BOZZ Performance...yeah the guys you see building those EVOs and Skylines from Top Secrect and Cuscos... the owner was kinda being a dick cuz i owned a Mazdaspeed and he owned a fully decked out EVO...dont want to go there if i dont have to...so what do you think it is???

Tighten up the big bolt under your back deck. Its the bolt that holds your shock/strut. Mine was doing the same thing till i stripped the back and tightened it up as hard as i could......and the knocking went away.

ok thanx.... ill try that and see...if thats the case thanx for your help

Yep, its either a loose strut top mount, or the coils are hitting eachother. Because the Eibachs are progressive, larger bumps cause the coils to squeeze together at the very top.

Goodluck

ok found out what it was...they had the washer upside down on top of the mount...the washer looks like a cup, they had the higher side up which didnt touch the strut only the rubber piece..thanx for your help guys...later
