Lowering problems and fan making noise

I've had my car lowered for just about a year now. I've lowered it 1.8 in the rear and 1.5 in the front. Now that it's cold out I hear noises coming from the rear if anyone know what this is an how I can for this please help me out.

Second thing is my interior fan makes noise when I turn it on sound like it comeing form the dash board if any other people have had this problem please let me know u fixed it.


Not the type of person to bring there car to a dealership. Unless have no other option

As for the fan noise, the fan bearings are probably on their way out. New motor kit costs about $80.

I get a flutter noice at a low fan setting and thats pretty common I wouldn't bother with it. Did you lower it on springs or did you cut the stock ones or what

I have the same fan noise, I just turn up the volume also curious for fix
edit: upon searching it looks like it's under the dash and not worth fixing it just comes back. Volume up!

I gotta find the YouTube video. You may be able to find it yourself, but I'll see if I can.

You'll just have to go underneath the dash, no biggie.

I got the same thing... Sounds like something is by the fan and just slapping it as the blades go by it.. Its funny because the noise (fluttering noise) goes away some days and can be heard on all speed settings of the blower fan. Anyone actually figure out what is causing that "fluttering noise"
