I changed the front struts on 98 Honda ...

Sent to Car Experts August 12 11:45 AM

I changed the front struts on 98 Honda Accord with KYB GR-2, now I have a loud noise from the right front when I go over a bump. I can not find anything that is loose. The noise started as soon as I changed the strut. What could be the cause? Thanks, Fred

 

Optional Information:
1998 Honda accord 4cyl

Already Tried:
tighten all bolts-looked for any spots where strut could hit.

Did you change the strut bearing plates/ when you replaced the struts? When you change struts,you change the load on the spring and plate assemblies.The strut bearing caps are always serviced when we do struts.By the way,when the rubber tears on the caps it can be difficult to see but look where the strut nut is.
