help just lowered my car

[scotiep]

I lowered my 97 m3 with eibach pro kit. 1.0" front and .8 rear drop and when I got the car back im hear a klunking noise in the rear especially when i go over bumps or hard turns.


DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THAT IS? AND WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX.

HELP PLEASE

rear shock mounts

Check to make sure the spring is seated properly, Also check the foot of the shock to make sure it is tight against the swingarm. It is most likely the RSM's though, as egk pointed out

thank for the input.... looks like rsm it is.. just kinda funny it never did it b4 just after I lowered the car. so what should i buy?

[BlueIce]

Get new RSM's from either the dealer or bimmerparts.com is my advice. I had to buy new ones a few weeks ago when I dropped my car also, and I picked up E46 M3 convertible RSM's for 18$ each.

I heard a high pitched rubbing noise from my drivers rear corner on turns after the drop, turned out to be the tire rubbing on the inner fender lip. A little rolling on the rear fenders fixed it up good though.

I replaced my RSM and I still have a clunking more or a thumping noise in the rear when I turn slowly...

I had a clunking noise after I replaced my rear shocks and springs too. The bolt that holds the lower part of the shock was just a little too long to hold it tightly. The hole the bolt screws into is blind so it was difficult to tell if the bolt had gone in all the way and was holding the shock tightly, or if the bolt had hit the bottom of the hole. I fixed it with a lock washer.
