Control arm noise ?

haccord13 · Feb 7, 2014

I just lowered my accord about 4-5 inches and when I'm driving and street dips or its bouncing i hear this loud thump noise. one of my friend i believe said it was the control arm hitting the top and told me to make a hole so it has room but i was wondering if anyone else has/had this problem and how they solved it.

I just trimmed my upper a arm a little bit (aftermarket ingalls) where it was hitting

I think that would be the UCA hitting the strut tower.

Yeah, you're control arms hitting your strut tower. Typical problem with lowering. All I do what cut around a 4in by 4in square on each side where they were hitting. Search for a thread called "Cutting strut towers? Yay or nay" or something like that.
