Clunking Noise After Lowering ('08 IS250 AWD)
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has had this similar problem. Ever since I have had my car lowered (H&R springs) I have had this clunking noise coming from the front of the car, especially on tight left hand turns. I have isolated the noise to about 2 feet from the driver side wheel well (CV joints/front differential) I've inspected under the car and haven't notice any leaks or anything broken. Anybody have any idea of what can be causing this or if someone is having a similar issue. Thanks guys.

I had in passenger rear when I make quick left/right turns into bumps, got it checked out by my installer and another mechanic and everything is fine
I was thinking maybe springs bottoming out not sure (I know Tein S Tech has that issue because it's soft and has rubber sleeves as add-ons), my installer ended up spraying some grease on passenger rear spring and sound is gone
I cleaned everything (pressure washer sprayed) when I took off my wheels to swap on winters so no more "grease" and sound hasn't come back

Hey guys problem solved, turns out my controller arms were worn out at the bushings. Must be a big issue because it got fixed for free under my CPO Extended warrantee ($1,800 repair)
