I have a 2008 Gt 500 with 3000 miles and I have Jlt stage 2 ,Steeda upper and lower control arms,kooks lt headers/catted x,Pro kit springs and has been popping in front every since i had the springs installed. I have had the car to 2 different dealers and no one can tell me what the sound is or where it is coming from. They checked the springs to see if they were lined up correct and they said they were. Checked the front end and said they could not find anything wrong.Has anyone had this problem or is it just me. Can any one give any suggestions?
Popping In The Front End After Installing Eibach Pro Kit

Basically only could be a few things. Springs not lined up, stabalizer link loose or the strut plate. Thats basically all that you take loose when doing springs.
91 Not sure what you are referring to,but the only thing changed in the front end was the springs. Thanks
Is it popping when just turning or popping going over big/small bumps. Does it pop when rocking vehicle side to side? Need some more info..
Leonard it pops on big/small bumps turning or going straight,not sure about pushing on the car. Thanks for any help
Sounds like they reused the stock upper spring mounts. I would recomend changing them to the Steeda HD mounts. This will cure the problem and at the same time allow for more camber adjustmen range .
Here's a link to show you what it look like.

have someone rock the car side to side while your holding onto the stabalizer link up front, see if you can feel the knocking in the link. Strut mounts shouldn't make noise when going straight. Sure sounds like your describing a stabalizer link to me.
Did they reuse the lower spring isolators from the stock springs? :shrug:
Steeda HD upper strut mounts work great on my car, I would get them
Chuck did you have popping also?
no that is one thing I never had, the front of my car is noise free, the rear not so much haha
I was told by my Ford dealer that they loved installing the steeda mounts though and alignment was dead on perfect with them in

Well we rocked the car backward and forward and doesn't pop but my friend walked beside the car while it was moving slow and the popping seems to be on the drivers side only.
Never made it to a lift yet. will be on one tommorrow while the corsa mufflers are being installed. I will tug on the suspension then. Thanks for any help
Well got the steeda upper mounts in and front end realigned and the popping is still there. pulled on everything underneath and heard nothing. Believe it or not it is also popping in rear now also
My 07 is doing the same thing !!.. I just put the Steeda mounts on and I'm having a faint popping sound on the drive side !
I put new sway bar end link nuts on ! and use red locktite on all four of them...Torque spec is 89 ft pounds very tight for the end link nuts... if they are not that tight... you will still get the clunk or popping that you are hearing!
Its so hard to get a torqe wrench in there ! I used a impact gun and a torque stick to about 100 ft pounds !
PROBLEM ALL GONE NOW ! :beer:
Torqued endlinks to spec today . Bump stops were cut down in back and removed in the front. Popping gone in the rear still popping on driver side front. Noone can figure this out. Have been working on it for the past 2 days.
Eibach
Has anyone resolved this problem yet mine is making the same noise coming from the front driver side? I hear it clearly when turning at very low speeds. I also have the Eibach springs.
I was considering getting Eibach Shocks/struts but I may end up putting the stock springs back on in the front.
