Outer Limits 4x4 Board

About two months ago I upgraded the family camper -91 LWB Petrol Mav
Went to King Springs and got 3' Inch lifted springs and Koni Shocks also got a new set of 33" BFG A/T
Very happy with the setup except when you go over a sharp bump i.e a speed bump the front end gets a "THAWANG" sound. (Only sometimes) sounds like its coming from the springs. Will be taking it back to Kings next week but wondering if anybody has any ideas?
P.S Have also changedall of the bushes as well
Cheers

Ok, is it a clunk, does it feel thru the floor of the car at all? They have problems with cracking of the floor in GQ's.

Could be a loose mount or bolt in the front end that they did.... Jump under and check it all out.

Could be body mounts since everything else is new, bushes in front that is... If it happens when one wheel goes first, like left front, then right front, so you would sorta be twisting the car a little, then probably the body mounts.

Could be lots o things, wait to see what The fitter says is the best way...

it's not a clunk more like the spring recoiling too fast or something like that, i've had a look under it, the mounts are all fine and can't see any signs of the floor cracking. will find out monday i spose

Wild guess is that due to poor mounting (which could be in lots of ways) the spring sits in one spot when not under much tension and then TWANGS into another spot under tension... or vice versa.

As one guy I know says - "always suspect the last thing you did!" In other words, suspect the spring installation rather than a pre-existing problem which the installer probably would have noticed.

Still - yeah, the guy that fitted them will fix it I am sure.

check bottom loop on front springs not hitting 2nd bottom loop.
Alss use an ARB etc urethane packer under bottom of spring on plate as some springs rotate just a little on comp or ext and do make noise said.
