After installation of a set of ST coilovers on my Magnum, I have a metal to metal type of clunking. I don't think it's the lower shock bolt this time. Has anyone ever had an issue with the threaded spring perch rattling against the body? The instructions call for removal of the rubber spring isolator... :sad:

Any ideas?

Did you change the sway bar?Check the end link as well.The KW uses the same type of metal on metal mount and it is quiet.

Also, make sure you tighten those upper and lower bolts. I had the same problem and it turned out I didn't torque them down right.

Damn... I was going to say that you just needed to sell them to me... ! :)

Glad you got 'em fixed Jeff! Any chance you want to get rid of your Eibachs?

YES!!! I have the non-leveling shocks to go with them(2-3k miles on them).
