Default Bilstein w/ H&R

I recently had Bilstein HD's along with H&R Springs installed on my 97' C4S Coupe. At first they were great what an improvement, but now a few weeks later I'm getting noise coming from the rear of the car. It almost sounds like a knocking sound coming from the rear suspension, both on the left and right sides.

Has anyone with a similar set up experienced these symptoms and if so what was the cause?

Thanks...

Have a look at your rear sway bar mounts to see if they have popped loose and rotated..

I second that as the first thing you should double check.

I agree. A loosened sway bar mount is what happened to me. The jam nut on the shock body needs to be very tight to the sway bar mount.

H&Rs, HD Bilsteins and RS swaybars 3 years ago. No probs or noises. I do check all connections, particularly the sways during every pre-event tech....about 12 a year.
