Horrible metal rattling noises after new springs

Post by IVIUSTANG »

Hi guys,

Just installed BadSwedes 2" lift on my XC70, now I have horrible metallic rattling noises on the rear end of the car. I've checked over all the bolts, including: the top rear strut mount bolt accessed from inside the car, the two bolts on the bottom of the strut mounts that bolt straight up and I've also checked the big bolt at the bottom of the shock that attaches to the control arm. I also ensured the spring was properly seated at the bottom of the shock as well as on the rubber at the mount. Further more, I painstakingly re installed all the sound deadening material that I removed to access the top bolt on the strut mount. I'm lost here, everything looks good!!! Does anyone have an idea of what I could be missing? I also posted pictures of the lift in the photo thread.

Thanks again,
Jesse

End links? They usually become noisy when you lower...or in this case raise your car
