Default springs question..

I let my friend install my springs for me. When i drive, i randomly hear bumping/rocking noises in my two back tires...anybody have any idea what might be wrong? Also...the lights to the hazard/clock on my 02 accord seems to have gone out...the clock shows..but at night, the lights just doesn't come on...any suggestions?

1. most likely springs are making contact w/ each other....some silicon tape (i think) wrapped around the lower coils will work out well

2. most likely a blown fuse

The clock has a little bulb that you will have to replace.

Do you have factory shocks? Factory shocks with lowered springs is not good. You may be bottoming out.

If you haven't done a shock upgrade do it. I'd suggest some Koni adjustables.
