Default Problem after shock install...

Today I installed my new tokico hp shocks and skunk2 coilovers on my 2000 civic hatch. I noticed that when the car is moving i heard this constant rolling sound thats moves with the speed of the car.. the faster i go the faster the rolling sound is. It's seems to be coming from one of the front shocks. Happend to anybody ever?

Wow i never heard something like that before. What does it sound like is rolling? Like does it sound like your tires are rolling or you have like a little hamster on its wheel inside your wheel well?

rolling sound like a bowling ball going down the lane
or
rolling sound like the hub rubbing on the splash guard, because you grabbed it to pull yourself up from the ground...

I would uninstall and reinstall the shock that you hear the noise coming from. If the noise is still there then..... ::shurgs::

It could just be your tires...you would be surprised how normal sounds freak you out sometimes. I've worried about wheel bearings before...but it was nothing but me listening to my car without the stereo on.
