noises after lowering

[jjhearn]

I lowered my 2006 300c with eibach springs and now have a load clanking sound when the car hits moderate bumps.Had it aligned and inspected and ther is nothing loose or installed wrong.It seems the right front strut has less resistance to bottoming when pushing down on the car.Blown strut?Started about 300 miles after lowering it.I installed the springs myself,did I miss something?

Believe it ir not, it probably is emanating from a LOOSE BOLT.

Did you replace the and or modify the bump stops in the struts?

That could be a problem... The Hotchkis kit I installed came with modified bump stop that we swapped out front and back. They are shorter then original....just a thought
