Suspension Noise After New Rim Install
After installing some 17" Rota Battles with Falken Azenis' (225-45-17) on my '02 WRX Sedan (completely stock suspension for now, only about 7500 miles on the car, no other changes) I get an occasional popping noise in the rear of the car. It usually occurs when shifting the cars weight back to front (braking) although occasionally on accelerating. It never happens at high speeds and does not happen when going over bumps. Any ideas?

just sounds like you're rubbing. If you have a wagon this is more than likely what's happening. You're probably not hitting your shock or anything but the lining trim piece on the actual fender.

Actually it turned out to be the lug nut tightness. I told the shop not to overtighten my lugs as I have had a rotor warped before. I guess they took that too far. I rechecked my lug torque a few days later and they were only around 40-47 ft-lbs. I tightened them up to 70 ft-lbs and the popping stopped.
