I recently had my front shocks replaced with KYB's (along with the lower ball joints and tie rod ends) and after about a week of driving I noticed some loud noises coming from the driver's side front. It doesn't occur when I go over every single bump, or only when I turn, but almost randomly. Particularly over smaller bumps in the road. It sounds to me like the spring shifting or something, which maybe could be the upper shock mount? I looked over everything very closely but still could not pinpoint where the noise was coming from. Pushing down on the front end causes it to occur also. I also looked over the subframe bolts and they seemed to be tight. It usually gets much more frequent the longer I drive the car, so when I first pull out it makes no noises and then progressively gets worse. Does this sound like the right symptoms for bad shock mounts? I could take a video or sound clip if it helps to get rid of this. The sound goes right through my spine and not to mention it's embarrassing as hell.
