Quick fix for the wipers to get them aligned properly once taken off is to remove them both, turn the car ignition on and press down on the wiper control and that will reset them back into the stock position. Big pain trying to get them lined up properly until I found out about this solution. Pretty easy install otherwise!

I am hearing clunking noise when I roll over small bumps and when I turn the wheel back and forth. Though the suspension seems to make my car handle better the suspension feels almost loose when I roll over any bump in the road. Would you have any opinion on what might be causing these issues?
