kybs and teins problem, pllleeeaaasse help QUICK!!! Options

[celicaGT96]

Im sure you all have herd this many times but i searched and cant find exactly what im looking for.
I just know installed the kybs and teins in my front drivers side only.
it tooks me like forever to figure out how to assemble the cartridge but i finally got it put in.
i would hear a smashing noise due to the old blown shocks, so i took it around the block to see if still did it, and it doesnt but now its making like a popping sound when i turn or hit a bump.
everything is on there the way its supposed to be, and also tight enough. Im thinking maybe just cuz i only have one side on and its unbalenced.......idk
does it do that with new shocks or springs......
i cant finish the rest of the car untill tomarrow cuz it got dark, but its bothering me, and idk what to do...

It's a bit of a trick, but you have to align the spring and seat correctly? Is the spring properly seated in the lower spring seat?

Quite simply, it's rather unlikely the parts were manufactured wrong, so it's your issue to fix. The sixth-gen, like the fifth, has a lower spring seat, and upper spring seat, and then the strut mount on the front suspension. Aligning the mount is relatively easy, since it has bolt holes. The lower spring seat is fixed, and it's what you use to keep the spring correctly positioned. The problem is the upper seat, which will twist as you tighten the top nut on the piston rod.

A pair of bent-tip needle nose pliers is a really useful tool for keeping the upper spring seat correctly aligned while tightening the top nut.
