TEIN/KYB Installed...concerning noises!!!

Hey guys,
just got my '97 Camry back from the shop today with the new KYB/TEIN setup installed and it feels like a million bucks!

One thing though, when I turn a tight corner going pretty fast, i'm noticing a couple of "knock" sounds that I'm thinking are either the spring adjusting OR the strut bottoming out, but it's pretty loud and feels like it's bottoming out.

Obviously, I'd like to avoid bottoming out(and blowing out!) the new struts, so any suggestions from those who have a similar setup?

This sounds like the old strut mount problem. I don't think you are bottoming out. It is probably a problem with the install. Do a search for the strut mount and you'll find plenty of discussions about it.

yeah, looked at those, so it may be strut mounts...but it's on both sides when turning aggresively, and I've never heard it before today...so that's why I'm a bit puzzled.
