Suspension noise diagnosis

[nsk040]

I have Bilstein HDs

[Sockethead]

Ok yea I remember now reading that earlier in your thread

[Sockethead]

You left out the original bump stops on the front struts, yes? The Bilsteins have internal bump stops

[nsk040]

Yes, only replaced the rear bump stops.

[Sockethead]

and you checked the front lower control arm bushings very carefully yes? ( leakage and pry bar for excessive movement)
Running out of things to check...

FCAs and FCABs are new Lemforder parts, replaced this summer. Didn't pry on them though.

Noise could be something like the wiper fluid reservoir or something like that moving around a bit creating a noise that isn't suspension-related.

[Sockethead]

Yep! These type of noises are a bitch to track down for sure

If you installed Koni yellow struts, there is no nub on the shock body to line it up properly in the steering knuckle. It's easy to get it misaligned. I did it myself the first time I installed them.

My Koni Yellows have an alignment nub! Maybe Koni finally got wise?

I would say "maybe it's personal," but usually that goes *against* me, and not *for* me lol.
