Hi, Just got my Eibach Pro Kit installed on my 2010 Altima Sedan 2.5s. Looks great, but everytime I turn the wheel hard, there is a very odd clunking noise coming from the passenger front area. Obviously I wouldn't believe that Eibach would let something like that slide, but what should I do? Take it back to the guy who installed them? I am not very mechanical whatsoever. Any help with this I would appreciate it. ;)

Sounds like an install issue. Take it back to the guy so he can check it out.

Lol no I love my car. I hate the transmission. I feel Nissan would have done better to just have two conventional choices. A 6spd manual or automatic would have been better than the cvt with it's manual shift mode. Just my opinion on that.

Apparently the guy who installed them over torqued the front strut. That's what a Sears mechanic said to me when he was taking them off. Not really sure if I want to put them back on. I liked the way they looked with them put on but couldn't stand the way it sounded with the turning of the wheel and that clunking noise. I now live in the Chicago area and wonder if I should even put them back on???? Thoughts???

No they won't get stolen. But the potholes around town are absolutely awful. So, I am pretty sure they are gonna stay off the car.
