weird rubbing/knocking noise

[escortman]

no not from teh engine
but ever since i put lowered springs in my ae82 fxgt wen i turn right and the weight transfers to the left of the car somethign in the front and back sounds lik its rubbing and knockin, wat could this be i replaced the shocks with some newer 1s and it still does it, could it be some joint in the front but wat could do it in the back

Take a look at the top of the struts while the car's weight is on them. Is the nut on top of the shock snug against the top plate. The last shocks I fitted made a lot of knocking sounds when I used the new nuts that came with them. I fixed this by using the original nuts I'd removed from the old shocks.

Could be many things...check all the arches and plastic shield material- its not uncommon to rub on them when lowering a car. Knocking could be the shocks bottoming out- even if new- especially if they are standard height ones. As above, check all mount bolts are secure. Also could be swaybar bushes flogged out- again not uncommon.
