so for about 2 weeks now my car has been making this noise like metal on metal but a high pitch... couldn't figure it out for the longest time. so today im driving, i hit the smallest bump in the road an it sounded like i just bottomed out. so i figured i did, got to work popped the hood and i take a took at the tower an i see this s***t..........

 

change the name of the photo, it is blocking it since it is a swear so it can't complete the image code.

 

sorry thought i changed it before, guess i didn't save it...

 

RUH-ROH!!
That's not good lol, Exactly HOW LOW is your car that you managed to do that?

 

not low at all actually 1.8" all around

 

Do you intentionally smash into deep potholes or something??

What suspension setup do you have?

 

kyb shocks an not too sure on the springs. bought the car with them on it had the car for about 3 years now, never had a problem since a few days ago. prob like a total of 5 yrs of them on the car??? rough estimate...

 

no, i dont "intentionally smash into deep potholes"....

 

I know you dont, I was being sarcastic

 

I don't know what happened here? If it's your top hat broken then it's easily replacable.

 

I had this happend to me in a eclipse i bought... replaced the struts and was good to go.

 

looks like installation error. but theres really not much else to go one from this pic.

 

X2 ^......I can't see that even happening other than wrong parts or installed wrong to begin with.

 

even if it was installation error, i don't think it would last that many yrs if it was installed wrong? but anything can happen i guess....
