Default "knock" type sound..

Let me put it this way,

I back out of the drive-way, parking lot or wherever i am. I put it in drive, and start going. The 1st time i have to hit my brakes, i get that knock type sound. Its like if something popped into place in a way and it wont make that sound ever again untill i stop the car. No matter how many times ive come up to stop signs, red lights & anything that forces me to apply the brakes.

Once i stop the car at the store or home, then i back out again later on. The 1st time i have to brake, it makes the noise.

This has all been happing, since i installed the strano springs & koni shocks.

Anyone know what the problem is, or could be? It's just 1 solid knock, i feel as if its coming from the driver side, since i easily hear it but will check both sides regardless.

Are the front shock nuts torqued down? I have seen so may that are not. Just a thought.

Hello
Did you put the spring isolators back in? I am sure the springs are seated properly. Like suggested above! I would make sure all of the hardware is tightened to specs. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad
