Default ISF Noise in suspension

2011 Isf with noise coming from the driver front and both sides rear. Have Bc coilovers, and checked them but they're good. Everythings tight i double checked and torqued. anyone have an idea? i wanted to say it was tierods but tierods wouldnt make noise this is more of a rubbery thump. sounds like a boot or balljoints . I dont know but if anyone has or had it can chime in please? thank you

I have some kind of suspension noises (besides the mods) they sound like loose fastener(s). Almost like a stack up that is not complete leaving a washer able to vibrate making a audible sound, it's been that way since I bought it a year ago and I have checked over the car many times (prior to racing, when doing maintenance or installing/adjusting parts)

I have creeks in noise as well. I just installed a bunch of figs parts. I feel the installer who I paid didn't torque the parts correctly. I don't have a jack and I don't have a garage.

I live in so cal and not really sure if I should buy a jack and torque wrench and attempt it myself or pay someone (but I can't seem to find anyone who knows anything about figs suspension on a Lexus IS)

any suggestions would be great... thanks..

Did you preload the springs correctly at install?

Yodog, Have you spoken with the installer about your issues with noise?
