OK so I just installed some new coilovers on the car. Now I'm getting this awful noise like there is something banging around from the rear passenger side. The shock is tight on the top and bottom. I really don't want to just throw parts at it hoping it'll fix it. Honestly like I can over cracks in the road and it sounds like something is just banging around back there. I don't think it's the shock because well it's brand new, however it did start to happen when I installed the suspension. It's not the spring either, it's tight in there.
I did find out my entire front end needs to be replaced, the control arms, FCAB, and inner and outer tie rods are all getting replaced. The wheel literally moved like 1 inch both front to back. I was like nope replacing it all. Since the front end is so bad, could it mean the rear end bushings are just as shot and I'm hearing that from the rear? That lowering the car and putting good shocks and springs on it made the bushings finally start to make noise?
I mean if I shake the rear end real hard I can kinda hear the noise coming from that side.
They were CXRACING coilovers that I thought were supposed to be a decent priced set. Yea they are ebay but I did the research and read good things on about them.
Please guys I'm driving 90 miles total for work a day and it sounds like my shit is gonna fall apart.

I have narrowed the sound down to the upper strut mount. I'm going to be taking the strut off this weekend and inspecting it. Maybe some dude didn't assemble properly.
