Default put on ITR springs; knocking sound

i put on ITR springs and now when i go over a bump, big or small, a knocking sound comes from the rear. Im thinking that maybe i didnt compress the springs enough or something, can anyone help?

Did you put or have the little rubber things on the springs when you put them in? If not its just the coils rubbing and creaking. No worries.

i could be, i havent really checked on it...

i didnt use a spring compressor to assemble the rears, i just pushed down on it, i wonder if that had any affect.

kinda of a pain in the *** to put on stock springs, i should have just bought lowering ones.. oh well

I didnt use a spring compressor for the fronts or rears so i dont think that is the problem. Check that you put the shocks together correctly.

What shocks are you using?
