(sorry ive posted this in so many spots, tryin to resolve problem tonight haha)

the problem got progressively worse over about 10 miles to the point of being very loud.

this kid changed out his shocks and springs today. did not touch the brakes and the shocks and springs were already together all he did was bolt them in, there was no spring seating or compressing or anything like that.

while driving and noise (like something cought on a wheel spoke slapping sheet metal every time it went around) was happening, seemingly from the left rear and the right front. it became louder and louder and then eventually could feel it in the steering wheel a bit (this is all under 25 mph). The noise does NOT occur under any rate of acceleration, and does NOT occur under higher rpm decelleration. also the noise is louder at higher speed, and very quiet at very low speed.

there is nothing visibly wrong, and everything was put together tightly.

im stumped, any ideas?

ummm..just a wild stab, but it might be the sway bars? If the bushings are shot, I have heard that the sway bars will make a clanking noise.
