Default my suspension is horrible help!!!!!!!!!

ok so about 3 weeks ago i changed my suspension... i got brand new tockico blues wit eibach springs...... after i did the sus. swap it feels like my front end is "loose"... if i jack the car up so that there isnt any pressure on the front end and the tires just "hang" i can lift the tires up and down w/o a struggle at all.....also when driving and i take bumps the ride quality when talkin about the shocks in fine but the front end rattles slightly and it doesnt feel tight like before... any possible solutions? ps i did go back and check to make sure everything was tighten

do your wheels wobble at all when you are rolling?

what about spacers or a washer of some kind can make your wheels off balance... or maybe it was the way you mounted the wheel itself.

I would remount the wheel. Mount the wheel finger tight all the lugs then tighten the lugs in a X pattern.

i remounted them twice already.. i doubt thats the problem...... when the car is unloaded i can push up on the wheel (towards the fender) with ease.... y is that? could it be the top hat isnt assembled right? even though ive done plenty of suspensions and doubt i did it wrong... but would that cause the wheel to have a "loose" feelin?
