OK, if you want gory details, here is a link to the thread that got me through my suspension:

By the way, 4 days to do the driver side, 4 hours to do the passaenger side. Getting the tools while doing the driver side made all the difference in the world.


So I replaced it all, and it no longer squeaks, it is a bit lower, and it feels great to drive but....

I notice one thing. When I hit a bump, I hear a popping sound like a hammer hitting metal coming from the front right side. The best I can describe it is that I hear it when the car is ascending while hitting a bump. That may sound dumb but you hit a bump, and the car goes up and the wheels go down, that is when I hear the sound, not when I am coming back down from the bump.

Any thoughts?
 
If you don't put the rubber washers back on all of the shock bolts, it will make that sound. You can figure out how I know.:) If not that, look for contact spots where the paint is rubbed off. One possible area is the spring perch hitting the upper control arm.
