Strut/Spring popping issue after install
Got new Delphi control arms and H&R springs up front. The vehicle went from driving ok with beat control arms to now; springs popping around when I turn the wheel, start and stop. I say the springs because I went back and had new strut mounts installed, it still does the same thing.
Before I go back to the shop again, I pulled the RF wheel and checked what I could, inc the caliper bolts....nada. Conventional wisdom says the struts could have (both) gone afoul from being disassembled, but I call bunk. Shop is willing to work with me, especially since I already paid to have the strut mounts done, and a re-alignment. Usually not at a loss for solutions, I am vexed by this problem. I put a lot of work into getting this vehicle, and now it's worse than when I got it. It was a little darty, but never made a peep from the suspension.
I really want to put this puppy to sleep. A 60k vehicle shouldn't need new struts. I am officially out of ideas.
