New suspension problem...
Just got home from picking the car up from having Tanabe Springs, AGX Shocks, 225/50/16 tires , rear camber adjuster and ES bushings put on my '91 turbo and a full allignment. Car lowered about an inch all around from what it was before. Driving it home I noticed if I took just about any left handed turn it sounded like something was clicking/clunking against something in the rear end. Sounds like metal on metal, more from the right rear from the sound and varies with speed. When I drove "normally" I don't think I ever heard it. Only did it if I was a little aggressive or more on left hand turns. Everything felt tight while driving and an incredible improvement over the original equipment. If it wasn't for that noise and the "problem" it's from I'd be grinning from ear to ear. I'm thinking I'm just gonna have to go back in the morning and put it back on the lift and see if they can find out what's been hitting where and check all the lugnuts too just in case.

Could be but it seemed to change how fast it was happening with the speed I was going.
As if something tire or rim wise was hitting either the new springs or shocks or something from being lowered.

In case anyone is wondering here are the specs from alignment sheet:
LR - camber -1.6 toe 2/16in
RR - camber -2.0 toe 3/16in
Total toe - 6/16in
Front specs are dead on.

HAH! FIXED! Went to bed all bummed, didn't sleep well. Woke up early, try 5am, figured screw it I can't get back to sleep let's take the tire off and at least look and see if anything is rubbing. It's cold, dark and raining outside. Get the floor jack out (barely gets under the car now) and lift up the right rear. Pop the tire off and start searching around with a flashlight. Nothing, no real marks or signs of anything rubbing or hitting anywhere on the tire, rim or anythinig else I look at. Scratched my head and thought about it it some. Looked at the rim again and thought to myself maybe one of the wheel weights was hitting something. One was on the inner part of the rim and one on the outside. Started looking at the dust shield around the rotor, hrmmm is it bent a little? Decided to push it back a bit all the way around. Then got to looking at some of the inner well body panels that would be close to the tire or the outer wheel weight. Moved them also as in bent back the edges a bit with my hand. Figured ok if that's not it then there is something really wrong somewhere. Put the tire back on and went for a ride. Never heard a thing! I don't know if it was the dust shield or the panels but whatever was hitting had stopped. Drove around for an hour then came home and went back to bed.
