jus installed agx with sportlines springs, while driving i'm hearing this rattling sound, like a loose bolt, comming from both rear suspension where the mounts are, i checked both rear strut mounts, and the seem to be intact, the when push down on the car to see if i hear any noise and there is was, while pushing down, i notice that strut seem loose in the mounts. i literally tried lifting the car by the wheel well, then there is was the strut/shocks looks loose as in its not bolted on the strut mount. any suggestions to solve this problem??
i went to the shop and told the guy he says that it need "adjustment" and it will be fine, so unfortunately the guy who installed it wasn't there, so i'm goin to go 2morrow morning early, so he cud "adjust it"
so i want your opinions on what the problem really is
HELP!!! suspension problem
Three easy things to check -
1) Did you torque down both of the rear nuts holding the mount assembly to the body (should be 12-15 lbs per, I believe)
2) Did you torque down the center nut threaded on the shock rod itself (don't remember exact torque for this one).
3) Did you install the AGX in the rear with the correct orientation - the bottom part that fastens to the hub is meant to go a certain way on the threaded stud (it tapers, the adjustment knob is meant to face inside, not outside).
