Hi all,

I haven't been around for a while so pleased to be back.

I have a 2002 acura rsx-s which I beleive is still sold under the honda
integra name in Japan and most part of the world.

I had a minor collision and the left strut was taken apart. After that,
I noticed a small noise which grows more important now.

I pinpointed it to the left front strut spring by having somebody
turning the steering wheel while car was idle and putting my hand on the
spring. The noise matches when the strut spring moves a little bit
suddently (it rotates a little in strokes maybe by half an inche or so
max in total, enough to fell it when it does).

I suspect some spring anchor or even wrost some nut is loose somewhere,
I wouldn't want the whole thing to go while driving.

I guess my question is what should I check to make sure the strut
suspension parts have been put back together properly.

Next step: buy the friggin shop manual ;-))

Since dealer made the job in the first place, I would rather find out by
myself. You are never better served than by yourself when it comes to
cars as I have come to learn.

Thank you all,

-john
