So, I installed shocks and springs on my wife's integra this past weekend. Tokico HP and H&R OE Sports. I rented a spring compressor from Autozone, but it wouldn't fit on the fronts without jamming against the shock body so I took the assembly to Wheel Works to have it assembled. $25 for the 2 front pieces. The guy took an hour when it only takes about 10 minutes for both shocks if using hand tools, but that's just additional information and a jab.

I take the assembly and put them in, and go for a test spin. There's a clunking that sounds like something is impacting the chassis near the front wheel areas. I'm not sure what it is exactly, are there any ideas?

I can also feel the clunks when cornering, easily when making a left turn. My wife says she can feel it on bumpy potholed roads and it sounds/feels like it's coming from both wheels.

I'm going to jack up the car and look for impact marks, but I doubt I'd find it. It's simply not low enough for the dust boot to be hitting anything, and the dust boot seemed to clear the diameter of the shock body. I'm going to check the sway bar mount brackets to make sure they are still in tact. The last resort is to buy a spring compressor that'll fit and take apart the shock assembly to ensure proper installation and also to check the dust boot length clearance. That shouldn't be an issue as it's only a 0.75" drop.

I can look at the CV boots, but that does not sound like that's the area. You can feel the clunk. Like some gremlins are in there hitting the chassis with a hammer when going over bumps that are big enough.

Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what to look for?

Thanks!
