My car was lowered on tanabe df210 lowering springs. After they were installed I got the car alligned at a Toyota dealership. Now still whenever Im turning the steering wheel theres this popping clunking sound. You can hear it more at a stop and your turning the steering wheel, anyone had this before? It wasnt like this before I had the springs replaced.

Frequent question to ask......people are going to say that the springs needs to sit in their grooves before the poping goes away.....Otherwise check for any loose bolts with the strut. As well in my stupidity....check for any missing lug nut that can cause a scratching/clicking noise every rotation of the wheel. I had two missing lug nut and I didn't even know it and I thought I had spring issues.....only way to tell in my case is to lift the car and check to see if the wheel/rotor wobbles.

There is an arrow on the strut, this needs to point outwards or the spring will make that popping noise....




^ did you check this?

x2 with the arrow. I was getting this same problem until I took out the assembly and noticed it was pointed the opposite way. Fix this and I guarantee if will fix your problem.
