All,

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but advice from fanatics always helps,

I changed out my struts and shocks last week. I did not change springs, and the struts were made for stock replacement. I noticed that when I pull out of my driveway, I can hear a little pop, like the spring is popping back into place. I am pretty sure that this will calm down once the struts work themselves in, but if anyone knows of any other reason it would be making this noise, please advise...

Thanks

Are you still using the stock plates on top of the strut tower? When I had the stock ones and I didn't tighten them down all the way and they would actually raise when the front suspension dipped and then slam back down on the strut tower making a popping sound.
