does this noise sound like a metalic coat hanger tapping the ground?
i' started hearing this at low speeds after adding coil overs and a swaybar.

Is it constant? Is it over bumps? Is it under high suspension loading?

Did you torque everything to factory spec when you put it back together?

I know on my last car my sway bar would come loose and so time to time it would clunk. But a tap sounds more like bad positioning of a brake line or a loose bolt.

Way to revive a dead thread lol

If it was the compliance bushing I would guess it would do it any speed, my sound only happens at very low speeds like anything under 10 miles an hour.
