Coilover woes

[Foolinaround]

I was doing the rear coilovers on my car last night with my buddy since i found i needed a new fork for the front anyway(fml).

So i go to pull away and i noticed a chatter,so we took it for a ride and he heard it too.

So only on the right side,the strut where the dampening is located on my coilovers(buddy club n+) i dont know if its having too much travel or what but it will lift off from the metal plate below it and slam back down on it whenever i hit a bump,i can also make this same thing happened by just pushing down on the hatch and letting it go. the other side does not do this at all and all the nuts and bolts are tightened to the same specs on both sides.

I know that sounds so any questions asked because im stumped

So it's rattling in the strut tower? Is that what I'm looking at?

[Foolinaround]

yeah,i went to my work and me and my two master techs looked it over and i think my buddy left something out of that side,since its only that side hes gonna check to see if he has anything that resembles maybe another bushing.

Are the mounts beat? Maybe lack of a washer? Are the strust in the mount tight and properly torqued down...both to the mount and the shock body nut?

the mounts are fine. There is the same metal washer. everything is torqued properly and the nut is tightened down all the way there are no more threads

prolly gonna take it apart tonight and see what not there compared to the other

Blown sturt bottoming out on the bump stop?

[Foolinaround]

fresh coils,i could have gotten a deffect but i just got these BNIB from Buddy club japan

[twastheglow]

Well, something somewhere must be either loose or installed incorrectly. I say take it back out and try it again after a visual inspection.
