Noise coming from spring
Ok so i just had a set of Canuck Motorsport springs installed about 2 weeks ago, when i first got them back they drove fine no noise ,etc. The other day i whent and had an inspection done on my car and while driving it home i noticed noise coming from the passenger rear side, so i went into my trunk took everything out and made sure nothing lose was moving around making the noise. But yet their is still noise coming from that area im 90% sure its the spring. Could it be possible when i went to get the inspection done and they jacked up the car the spring came out of place? I have yet to go for an alignment also.

is the top and bottom of the spring very snug against the bumpstop and base? it looks like it's not, and it almost looks like that's a front spring. can you take a pic of the very top and very bottom of the spring, showing how they are sitting on the bumpstop and base? if possible
yea, i think i can pretty confidently say that you have FRONT springs on the rear. unless it's just a really shitty design. or, whoever installed them did so backwards.
see how the coil is very loose against the bumpstop? that should be very snug. the bigger coils on top and bottom go in the front.

you can try turning it by hand. there shouldn't be much tension on the spring if it's in the air. if it's too hard to turn, all you have to do is take off one bolt, at the bottom of the strut. if you're not sure what to do pm me and i'll walk you through it. it's cake, and in a worst case scenario should take maybe 2 or 3 minutes.

The spring is installed upside down. Just turn it over the correct way. Also according to the manufacture you are supposed to trim your bump stops 1" front and rear. Check the sticky I posted the install doc there.
Dont blame the manufacture for a faulty install.
