have you put everything back together as it should be nice and tight? what did you change, just the springs or springs and shocks? my first thought would be to double check youve rebuilt it properly.

When I fitted my new shocks and springs I managed to break a ball joint on the front lower arm - this caused it to knock when turning at slow speeds.

Just a thought
