hi guys ive decided i want to modify my vz once again after being stock for while since my last defect notice. ive lowered the rear on ultra low touring springs from pedders, ive got the exhaust back on. i purchased set of lowered front spring off ebay i dont know what they are called im guesing super lows its 2 inches lower than the stock springs at the front. well the problem i had was i changed the front springs over just the springs and after ive changed it theres a constant knocking sound comming more from the left front end of the car happened after i got the springs on. right side is perfect no sound just the left any one know or can suggest anything ??

could be the spring/shock not seated properly, crook shock bottoming out, strut bush bearing not seated properly, loose bolt somewhere on the front, swaybar bush crook,

dont know if bent but may have moved in the bushs-slid sideways, so you may need to attend to this as well
