Default rsx strut assembly

I had someone lower my car on eibach sportlines.. It was fine for about 4 days... And now it's making a horrible knocking type noise only on the rear passenger side strut, but rides fine. I checked pretty much everything i can without completely taking it apart and redoing it... It's all tight... Does anyone know what part of the strut could be making this noise? When i push on the side of the car when parked it makes the noise. But not when you push down on the car...


Weird. Any input would help before I completely rip it apart. So atleast I know what to look for...

Jack up the rear of the car. Grab the piston of the strut and jiggle it. If it klanks around, then thats the problem. You might have had a seal fail. Otherwise recheck all of the hardware for proper torque. Good luck.

Yeah, I've already jacked it up and checked.. Everything seems tight. It sounds like something is loose inside if that makes any sense at all... Prolly just taking it all apart tonight. Thanks though
