Default Big Bong sound.

Anyone ever have this loud bong sound coming from the front driver side of 00' Civic Si while taking a right turn going 65-70 mph. Sometimes it's coherent when taking a slower turn(25-35mph). It sounds like the springs are adjusting or maybe the tie rod going bad. Any input on this?

Broken spring maybe? Check the first turn, usually the hidden side is where the break is.

are your springs on right side up? my friend had that problem, the neuspeed logo was printed upside down, so he put them on upside down. it would pop every now and then because the spring would twist out of the groove.

My Neuspeed 19mm rear sway has the logo on upside down too. WTF? And yeah, bongs make a gurgeling water sound.

The first image this statement brings to your mind probably says a lot about you.

Yep. Hard to diagnose through these little wires . Could be a broken spring, a loose stabilizer bar link, a bad spring perch, something loose, or several other things. Get the wheel off, take a look, and just sort of shake everything around. Then maybe you'll have a better idea.
