Need serious help bad clunk after spring install. (with video)
So I just installed some H&R Supersport springs on my '12 V6 and everything went good but it was getting too cold and dark out so I held out on doing the front left spring until tomorrow. I used all of the factory struts and strut mounts.
The back springs were a breeze I unbolted the rear sway bar and moved it out of the way and threw the springs right in there it mounted up easily.
I took the front right off and when the strut mount came off it separated from the top part and little ball bearings went everywhere! So I tried to get it back the way it was and I mounted it in there.
I drove the car around the block to check for noises and nothing out of the ordinary so I figured I was good to go.
Well I went to drive home and had this horrible clunk that changes with speed, it sounds as though its coming from the rear end somewhere it almost sounds like a really bad bald spot in my tire but that's not it.
Could this be due to my rear end not being in line and making a bad pinion angle? I did not install a panhard.
Something is seriously out of place here and I am scared to death to drive my car past 30 mph because it sounds so bad. I would take it to a shop tomorrow but none around here are open on Sunday.
HELP!
Here is the video the noise kinda sounds like a GT exhaust at idle but its a steady clunk coming from somewhere.
