its probably just the springs creaking. wait a couple weeks and it should be gone. if it seems to ever get worse check the install . theres not much that can rub up against stuff under there.

theres 8 total on the car . two for each spring one for the bottom and one for the top of the spring. they creater a lil cushion and stop noises from being transmitted thru the chassis from the springs moving/scraping/vibrating against the spring seats

just say that you are getting weird noises when you do this or do that and see what they say after they check it out. if they nothing is wrong ask if it is normal and ask if all rubber seats are still attached and installed. if u still have a problem ask to talk to their manager. and then calmly explain the problem

I have the same problem, the noise has quiet down though. But , I think I didn't line the rubber booth perfectly thats why.

well the noise got worse today and the shope wont look at it, i took it to goodytear and they said there was nothing wrong but when i drive the noise is really loud do you think that it could be the springs wearing in or do you think that they installed the right one wrong or incomplete

The springs were not installed correctly, teins are known for perfect installations. I recomend going back and having them inspected. I know I would if someone had a problem over here.

Sounds like the springs aren't properly seated.
