    "Clink clink" noise after drop!

    Alright I dropped the ride this weekend.... and its sittin pretty.
    Only thing is whenever i hit any kind of bump in the road i hear this clinking noise coming from the front.... I think it has something to do with the dust caps on the shocks.
    Anyone know of this happenin?

    when I dropped mine the top of the wishbone suspension was rubbing on a plastic piece in the wheel well. I had to grind part of it off to fix it, might be that.

    You have to tighten the nut on the top of the strut as much as you can (not real tight just until it stops turning). I had the shame shit happen to me and I waited so long that the dustcap scraped the paint off my front struts
