I had this sound even before lowering my car,do you think they would still honour this after the fact

 

they will fix it, they oredered the part after looking at my lowered ss but its been on back order for 20 days for me????
when it comes in they are gonna replace them for me.

 

check your tire pressure. rears might be high

 

i did the exact same fix and the problem is still here

 

my part took 7 days.... when i took it in they said they ordered a wrong part. then the right one came the day after.

 

that happened to me, they ordered the wrong part at first.... now 22 days later im still waiting hahaha.
