People of 6gc.net i have a problem a few days ago I installed the kyb gr2 struts with lowering springs
.Ever since I have been hearing this weird banging noise from my front wheels. It's like its banging on something when i turn the steering wheel i took to the guy that put them on for me i lifted the car didn;t hear nothing dropped back down still nothing got back home, was about to park there it is right when i was going up the small ramp to get in my garage and then again when i was leaving on the highway its fine
what could it be

I'm taking it to the shop tommorow again
it's not the noise that bothers me it's the fact that it seem to find resistance at some point and then completes the full wheel turn
i'm going nuts the bad part is that the mechanics there think i'm crazy but love my car

if its more of a tap or rattle.. it could be the strut housing cover/cap came un-done and is giving a banging sound. I had the problem for 6 months until I finally figure it out.. lol.. just pull off the front strut assemble and make sure its screwed on tight.
