Just installed new springs, have knocking noise..

Okay, well i just installed my new Swift Spec-r Spring on my car and well i just took it out for a test drive and I am getting a knocking noise from the left-front suspension. I seems to only happen when I turn left and sometimes right if I am coming out of a left turn if that make any sense. Any one have any idea what could possibly be wrong?

Check that you installed the suspension in the correct direction. I had the same problem, the bottom of the hat was rubbing the inside wheel well. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions

The upper spring seat needs to be clocked with the lower. There are holes in both that need to aligned. Top to bottom.
