you need 2 people to do this one has to rock the car while the other climbs around and checks to see exactly where its comming from, maybe something that is in there is just slightly off and you can correct it

i belive the springs are moving when i make left or right turns and causing them to make that popping sound. someone else told me....it will settle in...but i dont think it will....the springs are gonna just keep moving as i turn. this sucks[:@]and my 215/40/17s arent helping either[sm=sigh.gif]

You need those. I think I have some if you want to pay the shipping costs, they are yours.
