Omnipower=clunk Clunk Clunk Clunk Clunk

WELP I am pissed. Just today My Omnipowers started to clunk out of control, constant banging and clunking in the rear it is driving me nuts.


Unless there is a quick free fix, I will be looking to return these, I would advise against getting them as well. This pisses me off to no end, constant problems and so much money now gone, over $1000 into this.

These should be fine and priced so. They have no camber or Damper adjustment, they are priced right, I think it is a quality control issue, I also here they have repaired and repalced this issue.

I think it is a minor problem with a clearance issue. I mean handling is a ten, I mean my car NEVER handled so well. Just noisey. It is the piston making noise within the strut and I thought my set would have this corrected, I guess not. I will call on monday and replace them.

That sucks. I was looking to getting these for the spring. Guess I'll wait and see if they fix this problem.
