Question springs question??

I just install my tein s tech springs on my 04 sedan and I had a question. Is it normal to hear a little banging noise, nothing big. Coming from the front when I go over a bump or something ? I tighten everything and still don't know what it is. Has this happen to anybody?

no def not normal to hear this noise...after i installed springs i had a little creak in the front right wheel well and had infiniti check it and i believe it was the control arm bushing or something small that needed replaced...if your dealer is cool with mods then they can probably tell you if not have a local mechanic look if you cannot figure it out

What kind of wheels do you have and what are the specs on those and your tires?

Is there any rough gouges on your tires tread?

How much give does your front end have when you push on it with your hands? Does it feel squishy with little resistance?

Could it be your shocks bottoming out? If you're running OEM shocks, they may be a tad long.

If everyting is tight and you hear a knocking noise, it might be blown shocks. I had that issue before. Replaced shocks and it went away. Took me a while to figure it out though.
