So I replaced my front struts and when I stop at a light I hear a tiny click but once I start to move again I hear a big click. It’s only starting and stopping it doesn’t click at all while I drive.

Hi,

Is the sound loud enough for you to record and upload for me to hear? Also, have you had the vehicle realigned? Are you certain everything is tight as far as the pinch bolts and flange bolts at the top? One last question. Did you install a new strut full assembly or did you take yours apart and rebuild them?

I attached the directions for the removal and installation procedures. Take a look through them to make sure nothing was missed.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
