I installed the buddy club N+ Dampers and the drop is perfect. I measured all wheels and they are all at the same height.
Now when i drive the car and if i hit a bump or a pot hole, i hear some kinda weird noise just from the front left wheel.
What it can be ?
I still have to get my fenders rooled but the noise is coming from just one wheel. First i thought may be the coliover was loose, but then i checked it and it looked good to me. Then i thought may be its rubbing against the body but then again, its just coming from ONE side and all sides are equal height.
Please let me know what can i do as the noise is ANNOYING ! ! !

did you load the car on the coilovers before tightening the lower bolts?

I just installed them as they came from the factory

Not sure you understood the question. You're supposed to preload the suspension before you tighten anything up. Otherwise the bushings may be in a bind.

How do you pre load the suspension ... ?

you jack up lower arm...

Oh yeah, i did that. The installation was perfect. the forst fw drives i did not hear anything. Its just after 4-5 drives i started hearing that noise. Is it becuase the coils are settling down and now the tire is rubbing against the car body ?

Is the spring preload the same on the fronts? Maybe the springs are loose on full droop?

Im going to go home and take the tire off and check it out today. I hate driving my car with such noises

Yay .. I fixed it. One of the screws that connects rotors to the axle was loose. Thanks for your help
