Thumbs up Dropped on Comptech ADJ Springs

I recently installed a set of Comptech Adj. Springs and lowered the car 1.5" using the specs off of the comptech website. I am running stock rims and tires conforming to the service manual specs. No rubbing or bottoming-out.

I occasionally get this knock sound coming from the front passenger tire when going around corners slowly turning left. Ithappens at other times as well but always during small amounts of turning or tracking curves of various degrees.

The sound is pronounced but not loud.

The install went smooth and no parts were overlooked or missing. Everything seems to be in order but yet this sound.

Does anyone have any ideas??

most likely the a-arm is hitting the perch of the spring...you might just need to adjust the height/seating

I had the Comptechs before my BC's. Never had a problem with them except that they are a pain to adjust.

Doesnt sound like its the A arm since you dont hear it when hitting bumps. Make sure all the bolts are tight again and drive slowly in a circle in a parking lot. Have someone walking along outside the car listening for the sound.
