Noise from rear

Just updated my suspension to teins and HP blues and at first there were no problems, but lately ive noticed a rattling noise from the right rear. It only really happens when im moving at slow speeds (under 20 MPH) and its not noticeable when simply pushing on the rear, only when im moving...does anyone know what this could be and how i could fix it?? thanks

my left rear (facing front of vehicle) "rattles" when i'm at 2k on the tach, sounds like "bass" going through it...

yeah thats the same side mine is making noise, its tough to describe the noise tho, kinda sounds like a rusty spring compressing up and down rythmically (dont think its actually the spring cuz i mainly notice it on flat surfaces)

rubbing brakes, rimms on uncorrectly,

my pro did that for a while... i was definatly sure its the brakes..




does it also happen when you proceed from a stop, but goes away after you gain speed?


im pretty sure your brakes are rubbing against something

ok so i think that ive figured out the problem...i think that the rear spring isnt sitting quite right on the strut...now heres the issue...i could deal with this now by taking it to a mechanic, or i could wait until i;m next home (maybe a month) and do it myself (reason i cant do it now is cuz my tools are up in PA and im down at school)...so, how bad do you think it is for me to be driving on that one spring not seated right??

well if you hit a fairly large bump or a deep pot hole... something could go wrong. but driving it lighly for a while shouldn't kill it badly, it is still a concern though
