Wheel issues ? Suspension?
Wheel issues ? Suspension? Ok, so for the past month I have been getting lots of clunking and up until just recently, It got really bad. To make a long story short, my springs took a dump. I currently have all the suspension mods (Eibach pro kit) springs, lca's, relocation brackets and adjustable pan hard rod. Well, the rear springs were shot, so I ordered a new set and had them put on. This needed to be done regaurdless, but it didnt fix all the issues I was having. It made a hell of a difference though. Anyways, the problem I am having and was having before, is that whenever I hit bumps, I still get the occasional clunk. I *think* its because of the popping noise I am getting when I move the car side to side. There is no noise when I bounce the car up and down, but there is popping when I move it side to side. See illustration
Has anyone had this problem before? Is it possible that my APHR needs to be adjusted again? I havent messed with it and dont really want to unless that is the problem. Thoughts? TIA

I forgot to mention, it almost sounds/feels as though my wheel is loose (Like the lugnuts are not tight) but of course I have already checked that, more than once. Also, it only happens when I push on the passengers side. It does not happen from the drivers side.

Update......
Well, to make a long story short. I jacked the car up and checked the bolts that the PHR are bolted at. The were both pretty damn tight. I basically said "F" it for now I will try and figure it out later. ( I have been fighting this noise for a couple of weeks). Fast forward to the other day when all of the sudden I hear the tirs rubbing when I make turns or sway on curves. I get home and jack the rear up and notice that the bar is completely off of the threads, but was tight enough not to drag on the street below. I was like WTF? So anyways, I completely take the bar off at both ends and try to re-screw them together. Not happening, the damn thing was completely stripped at the threads. So what was going on when I was driving, was that the bar was shifting back and forth enough to make noise, but not enough to completely come undone, until the other day. So I ordered a new Spohn ADJ PHR and prayed that was the problem. I slapped that bad boy on and VIOLA! noise is completely gone. What sucks is that there was no way of me telling that the bar was stripped, because when i jacked the car up and tried to move the body from side to side there was no noise. When it was flat on the ground (And to low for me to get underneath it) it would make the sound. Anyways, thanks for all of your responses.
