Default Rattle after SFC install.

Had my sfc installed this morning. Spohn tubular weld ins. The guy installing was kind of a dick. i thought about taking it somewhere else but decided to go ahead let him do it. passenger side was no problem, but he had to convince the drivers side in with a sledge hammer.
Then i went and picked up my girlfriend to take her to lunch downtown and the whole time, when I hit a little bump, i get a really annoying rattle and can feel like a bump under my seat. the rattle sounds like its coming from around the back tire on the drivers side. I know its not normal, what should i do.
