Default noise with s-tech

i just installed my s-techs couple of days ago. everything sounds fine but the front right wheel makes this noise everytime i go over a seed bump. all the other ones are fine.
any idea what is wrong?

i did double checked it. we took the springs off. and put it back together. i dono what it is. it sounds when the wheel bounces. but not when i go really really slow over the bumps.

hmmm...check to see if the shock is blown, or if the half shaft is bent.

You could have installed the springs wrong .. Although that is very hard to do it is very possible . if the spring isnt setting right it can make a Clunk noise when you go over certain bumps .

The second alternative is your shock is going bad . Check that also .

did you cut your bump stops as well? could just be bottoming out on the bump stop

if thats the case, then wouldn't it do it on all 4? I just put s-techs on my tC and have no problems at all. Car is all stock other than springs.
