Springs starting to rattle after 6 months
So I've had Tanabe DF210 springs installed on all 4 corners of the car for aorund 6 months and now the drivers side rear (only that once corner) is starting to rattle for the smallest bumps. They were completely silent until today when I drove it around this morning.
Have I blown my shock so its resting on just the spring and is starting to rattle? It's slowly driving me insane...All 4 corners have the plastic silencers installed if that makes any difference...

Are all the springs rattling, or just one? Do they rattle at a certain speed or under certain road conditions? Is there vibration accompanies with the rattle? Have you noticed that your car is lower on one side than the other? Tried to be a little more detailed here...
Shouldn't this be in the suspension and brakes subforum?

if it wasn't, wouldn't I have noticed immediately? Not 6 months later....unless it became loosened by something.

unless the proper torque specs were followed, nuts and bolts can become loose over time, with forces acting on/against it.
i agree with karasha. jack up the car and take a gander. asking us to help you diagnose it with a semi-descriptive post results in conjecture at best.

Welp, I'm at Longo Lexus now having them take a look at it.
Edit: my service advisor just came and told me that while they were lifting it up, the forgot to lift one side a totally just ****ed my side skirt and driver side rear door.... -_- At least they told me and didn't try to play it off like it was something I did.
