what kind on sound is it? is it a clunking noise? maybe it has something to do with bushings or a wheel bearing. when you changed the suspension did you have it aligned?

Hello and welcome to Evom.net.

Sounds to me a tie rod issue. (Steering) Might have bent it a bit with the stiff coilovers the car had. Also check the sway bar mounts and end links and then the last thing to check is the strut top.

I would have that checked out by a machnic because you would not want that to fail while driving.

you may have to have someone host your pictures if they are too large. Otherwise, just go to the attach file part of the reply to post section-manage attachments.

Don't know much about the Evo 5...but I did manage to learn a little Japanese in my 4 years of living in Okinawa.

Welcome to EvoM. I just got back from vacation in Japan. 3 days in Tokyo, 3 days in Kyoto, and 3 days in the Japanese Alps. What a beautiful place! (Saw some wicked cars over there too.....Nissan Skyline Heaven)

Sorry, I can't help you out with your noise issue though......
