Hi,

Installed new shock top bearings on both sides, new complete wishbones, new balljoints.

- Stabilizer links/ sway bar links seems to be good (changed new ones 2021)
- Sway bar bushings seems to be in good condition.

With all this, it still "clicks" when driving over bumps and so on.

Car seems to be a bit sketchy to drive.. Easy tire spins and so on when wet roads.

Is there a chance to put on the shock springs the wrong way around?

Is the springs symmetrical?
If the springs have not pushed against the rubber stop in the bottom of the shock, can you rotate the spring without taking of the shock?

I need to have the car wheel aligned, but first I have to get these things straighten out first
