    Knocking Noise

    Hey guys. I installed a megan racing front upper strut bar, and since then, when i am driving below 45, i notice a knocking noise when i drive. Is this because I put it on too tight, or is it that my struts have gone out on me, or what?

    When exactly do you hear the noise? on a pump? while driving? while idling? when the car is off? (lol) seriously tho, when exactly do you hear it ?

    make sure the 3 nuts on the the studs that hold the strut assembly are just beyond snug on both sides..... also check the underside of the hood for clearance

    be more specific by giving and example of when this occurs

    cool, good to hear you figured it out..... checking and snugging everything after an install is always good
