Help Clicking sound after swift springs, camber kit and 20inch wheels installed
Clicking sound after swift springs, camber kit and 20inch wheels installed
Hey guys,
I seem to have a clicking sound (much like the sound you hear on a torque wrench) when going over uneven pavements at low speeds fairly intermittently. Pushing down on the car doesn't seem to trigger it. Maybe one or two clicks at a time. It does not happen often but with the windows rolled down and when the sways flex it seems to happen. I started hearing it after installation of swift springs, spc rear camber kit and 20s vossens. I do have hotchkis sways that haven't been lubed for awhile.. but other than the normal squeaking in the past, I don't recall ever hearing the clicking.
Could it be the springs not seated properly, or bolts/lugs not torqued down to spec that may be causing this? Or maybe the camber kit/sways? I'm just afraid something is loose down there or stripped. I took it to a shop to install all of this 5 months ago and was wondering what I can do myself to try to isolate the issue? I plan on bringing it back to the shop but since it happens fairly intermittently I'm not sure if they will be able to reproduce/test it.
any suggestions welcome =D otherwise car seems to drive fine with no issues.

I tried going over a high speed bump today with just the left front wheel and when i go over it the clicking sound happens. Reversing with just the left front wheel also made the clicking sound but after a few more times it stopped. Still confused as to what could be causing it though..
I don't have front camber kit so it's probably not that. Do you think the tech will easilly be able to spot misaligned springs or issues with end links since the issue is pretty intermittent?
Also will there be any damage if there are loose bolts, or misaligned springs?
Thanks
