Default Just put on my tanabe gf210's and have clunking....

As the title states I had my spring put on and the passenger side springs are clunking over bumps.... Any idea's on what could be wrong or if the shocks just need to settle in? I have the factory shocks on my 07 with the gf210's. Please help and Thank you. Happy fourth.

Found out the shop who installed them didn't tighten my bolt to hold the strut in thanks for the views.

What exactly did you have to tighten, I bought my car with those springs and that clunking is driving me nuts! If you could like explain it or show me a picture, i would be VERY VERY grateful.

I had the same issue after installing the NF210's and full camber kit for a 1.5 drop all the way around. I took it down to Clear Lake Nissan and had Clint, the GTR tech fix the problem in 5 minutes. Seems all I was missing were the stock shock sleeves which were left off during install. I bought them from Nissan for $20.00/free installation.

Are the stock shock sleeves the rubber that covers part of the shock? And did they charge you to take a look at it? I live in clear lake too

I was in there for an alignment after the drop, but no charge for the extra work. I'm even taking it back in for an alignment check at no charge. I had no idea anything was even wrong until Clint called me out into the garage to look at it. Once installed, no sounds whatsoever.

BTW- You ever go out to the car show behind the Hooters @ Nasa Road 1 & I-45 South on Saturday nights? We have a group of 350 and 370 Z's that meet there every Saturday around 7ish, and now we even have some Z32's showing up. You should stop by one night. We always park in a line behind Papa's BBQ right across from Hooter's. Ask for DoE Boy, and I'll introduce you around!

The bolt on top of my strut wasn't tightened down.

Sorry for the misinformation DJADL. This is what was wrong with mine as well. I just needed the sleeves to correct my front alignment.

Are you talking about the thick rubber stops or the rubber that wraps around a few of the lower coils??

Check the end link nuts, too. Sounds like one or both might be loose.
