Default Suspension question....

The driver's side of my car feels like there's metal-on-metal contact when im riding over a bumpy road. I have a 98 civic lowered wit H&R springs (1 1/2") and tokico shocks. I looked, but nothing is unbolted or loose/rubbing. Any ideas? A bushing or ball joint?

check the upper control arm (upper wishbone). There are 2 bolts on each side. One of them may have broken loose.....

look on the left upper strut. youll see two bump stops on the drivers side and 1 on the passenger side.

open them up..and youll see that there isnt a bumpstop on the driverside beneath it. youll have to take apart the strut mount..and put bump stops in there...then put them back together.
