Lowered my Celica, UPDATE* More Pics Options

[jordisonjr]

Alright so I recently Lowered my celica on Tein springs. It looks great and everything, Im really happy with the ride and everything, but there's just one problem. When the car is stopped or moving very slowly when i turn the wheel I hear a clunking sound, almost like what a ball joint would sound like.

The sound only comes when Im moving very slowly or stopped and crank the wheels pretty hard.
I looked at it with a few buddies and we saw that when you turn the wheel the strut and spring both turn as well. Now I don't know a whole lot about cars and this is the first one i have lowered, but should the spring be moving as well? or did I do something wrong?

I did my research before lowering it and even followed the instructions on the stickies, and I've never come across someone with this issue, and yes I did use the search button and found nothing.

Someone please help me out cause I don't know what i did wrong.




And Of course, here are some before and after pictures, and I'll post them once the springs settle as well.

BEFORE:



AFTER:


I think it looks waaaay better, and it rides great, all I need is some 18's and I'll be set

UPDATE: Got some new pcs I took quick with my point and shoot, Should have some legit photos once my rims come in which i order last week.

94celigts: So you basically greased everthing, like the top of the spring and the rubber boot it sits on, and like the bearing inside the mount and all that, and the popping went away?

azian_advanced: Thanks for the diagram, do you know exactly what causes that popping noise? Is it going to cause any damage if I don't fix it right away? or is one of those things thats just going to be annoying more than anything, if you know what i mean.Also, I'veseen this diagram before, and I looked for it on the back struts and I couldn't seem to find it, is it only on the front ones, or was I just not looking good enough?

mgnt232: What size 17's are you running, like what width, and what size tires?

ajmorris1977: thanks alot , unfortunately I can't cure my mod bug without any money so it's been tough, but I start work through college soon so hopefully Ill be gettin some more things for it.

Thanks everyone for the input, appreciate the help.
