I am getting crazy amounts of noise coming from all 4 corners of my car... The install went smoothly, no major problems...
Any ideas? what should i do?
p.s.
the car rides smoothly, its just the noise that's rediculous...
someone please help? I'm thinking I just need new mounts.. .I'm in canada, any idea where to get the Gabrial Mounts or whichever?
wow a little more description maybe? when do the noise occur? what does the noise sound like?

well, the noises occur pretty much every time i hit a bump... its a big clunking noise with a little bit of high pitch scraping...
Its almost like I didn't put the rubber pieces back into place... but I know i did because i remember loosening the spring compressors too much before i aligned the rubber pads up, so i had to tighten the compressors back up so that i can re-align the rubber
so its a clunk noise whenever you go over bumps? does it sound like its coming from the top inside the strut tower? if so then im 99.9% sure you need new mounts
something is not tightenend down enough.
Agreed - Something is deffinently not tightend down - Check the torque specs and re-check EVERYTHING! it is possible that you need new strut mounts - I have put 3 sets personally in my car - I have been told this is quite common for Cavs and Sunfires in Newfoundland.

Try Napa, Part Source or Canadian Tire. They should have them. When I did my suspension I picked up all new mounts from Napa. b/c it was the closest part store.
thanks guys! I appreciate the help
It turned out that i needed to tighten up the top strut bolts a bit more - as well as needing new mounts - i got the fronts fixed up now its just the rears.. they aren't so bad.. just a little noise over bumps.. so i figured it could wait 'till Tuesday -- it sucked because this weekend I needed to move into my apartment lol so it was a little difficult not having my car!
thanks for the help guys!
