Your rubbing is extreme. I hammered that fender tab and removed bumper tab and it still rubs on some crap on the fender. I only rub on aggressive turns or stupid uneven road. GOODLIFE!

Coilovers should last an average of 33,000 miles. Also, the roads you drive on will determine the coilover life.

I posted this already in a different thread but if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend MxChase when purchasing Megan products. He got me a set of Megan LPs for the lowest price i've seen and he has the lowest price when it comes to Megan EZ's (lower than every vendor on the forum). Very good communication as well when I had questions about the coilovers and setup.

How bad is the vibration? Noticeable only at a certain speed?

vibration is only at a stop light when your car is in drive, adding some spacers to the axles should relieve some strain on it and should also spread out the cv boots a bit so AWD owners can go lower

Is the vibration AWD specific or am I misunderstanding you?

Very interesting as my car does exactly the same thing.

If i go slowly over small but sharp crease on the road I will hear and feel faint knock sound. Very soft deep tone sound like when you knock your hand on soft surface. The noise is almost gone when I drive faster like 40+ mph or higher OR when I hit a bigger bump where wheel travels more.

But mine happens on the front right side of stock suspension.

hey guys, be abosolutely certain that all bushings were reset and RETIGHTENED to specs. I suspect that could be some folks problems.

I didnt tighten one side of my front sway to spec cause I just plain forgot and sure enough, within a few days, I was getting a clunking sound intermittently.

Check your work again....or check another persons work.
