I have a weird noise...

coming from my right passenger side coilover. I have JIC FLT-A2's and it sounds like a popping noise of some sort. Something like we didn't screw something on tight or something. Seems like the strut is getting stuck when it's moving or something? Used some high-temp grease on it and it still does it. Any suggestions?

Check the torque on the top nut that holds the strut to the camber plate. Stiff suspensions are notorious for working those loose.

Hey thanks. I'm pretty sure i tightened them all. I'll do again to be sure. It was the first thing I was thinking when I heard that noise. "OMG I forgot the tighten the strut bolts", but it wasn't it. Any other possibilities guys?
