Default Weird clicking / knocking noise.

After the install of my coil overs, started getting this weird clicking / knocking noise from the right rear..



All bolts have been double checked by me and garage and can't see anything wrong or that should be making a noise.


Any ideas ?

CV cups would be a good place to start - lowering changes where the surface contact is on the cup.

Did you raise it to normal ride height before tightening the bolts?

You need to tighten all the bolts when the cars on the floor to stop pretension stress on the bushes. May be your problem

I had a rear clonking noise and it ended up being loose brake pad shims. Nice easy check! Just remember you need the handbrake off to check for movement.
