I have had my v3's installed for about a week. Everything was great. On friday I decided i needed to stiffen it up a bit, was too soft, so I did. I believe Im about 5 clicks away from max, and rebound is one click more then what it comes with. Yesterday tho I started hearing a noice from the front left. Everytime I go over bumps. Dont know if something is loose but it sounds like metal hitting on metal. Anyone experience anything like this?

Is it the squeaking noise every time you go over the bumps? I noticed mine have had that noise on the rear right side a couple of months ago and I never cared. Then I checked back last month and found that it was leaking... So now I have to replace that shock. I am not sure if my issue is similar with yours.

Nope, its more like something hitting metal. Not sure if it has anything to do with the swaybar link., Cause the sound sounds like the old setup noise.

Should have your installation double checked. No noises for 2+ years
