I hear a clunk coming from the front end when I hit a bump or a "step up" in the road. When I put her on the lift and the front suspension is hanging down it appears that the torsion rods are not in contact with the suspension. It's as if they need to be tightened but that would raise the front end. I'm sorely lacking in knowledge of the suspension. What say the experts? TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Check that large nut at the top of the shock. You know, the one you need a pin-spanner or a large channel lock pliers to tighten. It's about 3 inches in diameter. Or it's probably part of the "Subaru Curse". You were warned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

All new fittings on the front end except for stabilizer bushings. When I installed the new Bilsteins, one had a rubber sleeve appx 13mm long and the other one did not have this sleeve. Were both side to receive one of these or should I have thrown the one away as it was a packaging part??? And I doubt the Suby Conversion played a part in this, Elyut.
