hey lads, took the day off to fit a set of apex lowering springs. just took her for a test drive but i can hear a knocking sound coming from the front when i turn the wheels. its not rubbing on anything visible. is this cause they need time to settle in :?: or did anybody have this problem before :?:

They probably need some time to settle and sit in the groves in the end plates correctly but if it continues you may have to reseat them again.
