Greetings! Just recently purchased a 2005 Xa, added some wheels and installed a front strut bar. The weekend after the install, started getting some knocking sounds when idle at a stop (only). The noise would disappear when the car was in motion or parked. At first I thought it might be the fuel line tapping against the strut bar. Found a disconnected house near the air filter housing. Reconnected and noise went away and figured it was fixed.
Went an entire week of driving and today I notice the knocking sound only when going in reverse. Checked to see if it was the same hose that had been disconnected previously and it was sill intact and clamped well.
Has anyone else experienced this after installing their front strut bars? Any advice on what to check would be appreciated!

It's a DC Sports strut bar and it is an automatic (I've nicknamed it The Slushbox). I took some pics- you can see the fuel line underneath and I marked the hose that had been disconnected previously.
