I just got the Prodamper setup installed with Sportlines and J&M caster plates
Added a UMI Third member, Lower rear LCA mounts and Metco LCA
got it back from alignment
I hear a pop when i make turns from the front

I suspect it is normal from what I have read
But it still concerns me

did it pop prior to your alignment?

i'm pretty sure the spherical bearings went out on mine. J&M, as far as I remember, has a lifetime warranty on the plates. I just need to send them back.

Check your strut rod nuts (middle of plates, accessible through the engine bay).

No popping before But I was all stock
This a brand new Eibach Strut and Spring setup Pro Damper

So I was not sure what to expect other then the stiffer ride and better handling.
The popping is annoying
Ill check the struts out, but im sure they are put together correctly?

Maybe it is the camber plates?

have you checked the sway bar endlinks to ensure they are tight?

I have the j&m plates on my setup and I don't have any popping sounds. I would also check and make sure that everything was torqued down properly.

Make sure you get the top nut on the strut torqued to spec, the front suspension has to be loaded to achieve this.

Anyone have the phone number to J&M? Mine are doing the same thing.
