Front Suspension noise.
 
Hello everyone.

I have a 2000 boxster that I just installed the Eibach pro-kit lowering springs. After I installed the springs, I now have a metallic clunking sound in the front.

I also had the same sound in the rear, but replace the rear track arms, and now it doesn't exist. This front sound is almost identical to the rear sound I had.

I know its not anything loose because I doubled checked everything in the front including the strut towers.

Has anyone experience this? I am speculating it can be the front A-arms, but i dont want to spend $300 to replace them if im not 100% sure.

Thanks

could also be the sway bar links. disconnect the sway bar & see if the sound goes away.

Also make sure the the studs for the three strut mounts are aligned properly and resting in the plastic "cup" correctly. Like this:

I did double check to see if they were fitting in the cup and they were. Also, i noticed in the pic you provided that the struts have the rubber ring on the top. I had the ring on my rears, but not on the fronts.
