I just installed an Eibach Pro-Kit set on my 99 Altima....I've noticed that some sort of thumping sound comes from the passenger rear....a friend of mine said his dropped prelude does that too but he doesn't know what it is either.....any of u guys know?? any help would be awesome

Ususally I would say that you blew a shock but being so new I would say that you should tighten the upper nuts

Edit: Glad you got that fixed
