Default eibach noise issue?

Just wondering if anyone had some issue with clunking sounds with eibach springs on their ride? I installed everything correctly plus got it aligned and checked again but the issue is still there

No issues here. Only thing that comes to mind on why they would be clunking is that the spring may not have seated properly...does it clunk only when you turn?

Give it time. It'll settle in.

Yes the springs will settle in, but they shouldnt be popping. I had springs on my first s13 that popped when I would turn, and it was simply due to the spring not being seated on the lower perch properly.

Either something is loose/misaligned, or what everyone else said.

I just checked everything again...springs are seated correctly and had the alignment checked once more. I only hear the clunking when going over bumps, but going to take it off this weekend to see if i missed something

Maybe a blown shock or you bushings are shot too?

Also, check here. Maybe you'll find some answers

Front upper strut mounts or bad shock.

Is it more like a dull thump, a click, a metallic clank, a snap?

So figured out what the problem was... it was the busing on the lca on my driver side that caused most of the noise. Also, since the car was on the lift i doubled checked everything and tighten all the bolts and the car does not clunk as much. Just ordered new bushings and waiting to install them now

Thanks for the help
