Alright. So i installed s-techs on my tc and now i have a knocking noise coming only from the driver side when i hit a bump in the road, going fast or slow. Everything is tight and installed correctly.

The car has been wrecked on the driver side and the control arm with ball jonit and shock were replace along with the sway bar link. Someone said it may be the sway bar link hitting the control arm, but i dont get why it would only do it on one side,

Some help would be appreciated. This knocking is driving me nuts.

Check the grease level in the ball-joint. If it's not full, it will "knock", "bump". Just fill it till it squishes out. You'll be fine. Hope this helps.:dance:

Everything is tight and installed correctly.

Was is tightened while on the ground or in the air. Specifically the top strut bolts under the hood.

I know you say everything is tight and installed correctly, but have had some people say that and they tightened everything in the air without a load on it and then you start driving and it starts knocking because the strut isn't fully tight since it wasnt tightened with a load on it.
