drift into a curb · 08-18-2002, 04:30 PM

Yesterday I installed my Sportlines with the Tokicos.  The fronts were a pain to put on, but the rear was a lot easier.  After I was done installing and took a test drive, I started hearing a tapping noise on the rear/right when I drove on bumpy roads, like metal contacting metal.  After 10 minutes the rear left started making the same noise.  I installed the the rubber bushings that came with the struts and put in everything properly.  Do you guys have any advice on what could be causing it?  Any info is appreciated.

Best thing i can say do is take of the tire/s where the noise is comming from and look and make sure that there is nothing that came loose and that everything is a ll good.It may be that your spring and shocks are settin/breaking in so it is seating down better.
