So I installed mine a few weeks ago and I also occasionally get the knocking sound when turning to the far left or right(mostly right).

I am also getting a constant rattle in the rear, sounds like something is loose rattling around in my trunk but my trunk is empty.

Any thoughts on what it could be?

I reached underneath and made sure the springs are not loose and they aren't so I am stumped.

twist the coilovers to loosen them just a little or buy the hose/silencers and see if that will stop the noise

honestly you guys are complaining about your suspension...when you dont even do it properly...putting in just springs on stock struts is the problem...you might have aswell cut the springs...the oem strut on anycar is not made for aftermarket springs cuz the strut is now longer and there will be alot of friction and overtime you will have lots of damage...if your going to lower your car dont cheap out and get just springs...get it all...either a whole coilover package or new shorter struts made for those springs not oem struts with eibach springs. sorry if i sound like a dick i mean no offence. if you dont believe me talk to a real mechanic not a guy that works in the back alley shop that likes to cut corners and charge you ten bucks for an oil change.

Hey genius, you may know something we don't who makes shorter struts, I been trying to get Bilstein but they don't make struts for forte.
