suspension rattle, how to solve it?

i recently install Stance coilover, Eibach swaybar, SPC rear camber. Now, the passenger side (F,R) start to create a small rattle when drive over a small bump, uneven surface. Any ideas what cause this rattle?

is it a rattle or a clunk? If its a rattle, your coil overs might not have the locking rings tight (the rings that push the spring up to the perch), if its more of a clunk it could be your sway bar endlinks on their way out, OEM's suck, look into power grids

some time it sound like metal to metal and sometime it sound like rubber to metal (squeaking noise). i retight every suspension parts but the noise still there do you think because of a swaybar bracket that i over torgue. this audible noise is irritating my ears

sounds like your sway bar might just need some lubrication, either that or compression rods

lube the swaybar bushings and get new endlinks.

your endlinks are probably loose.
