Got my suspension installed and been fine till yesterday. Getting some noise from the fronts when going over bumps and uneven road at non-freeway speeds (although probably still happening, just don't hear it). Also, hear/feel a slight noise/clunk when accelerating from a stop. The noise was not there the first day, but started the 2nd day and got progressively worse.

I'm gonna call the shop that did the install Monday, so any ideas on what the problem is that I can address to the shop?

thanks,
mike

Retorque all the bolts to factory spec.

In particular pay attention to the sway bar end link torque as well as the shock tower nut torque. Getting these right made all the difference in my car when I installed the srt-8 suspension.

Would you (or someone else) happen to have those torque numbers?

Wolf, guess you didn't know, I got the Hotchkis springs/sways with Eibach dampers, I believe you have the SRT set up, right?

Torque specs from the manual.

Going that direction first, but nothing on ebay at the time and Hennessy wanted $650 for a set they had, no way.
