New springs installed, now have banging Well I put stock suspension springs back in the car last night and drove it today and now I have this loud banging sound coming from the front shocks whenever I hit a bump. Could this be because I didnt tighten down the struts nut on top? Any ideas? They are stock springs on Bilstein shocks

you probably didn't compress the springs enough to seat the upper mounts all the way down on top of the shocks. the shock nut is NOT enough to compress the spring, but it will seem to be tight. common mistake.
