Noise from Coilovers

Jeffblue

Thanks for the input. i had heard the same thing about 'noises' from bc coilovers, but i decided to take it with a grain of salt b/c the people telling me about them didnt actually sell them. besides the noises described to me were more like a creaking sound. the installer seemed to have checked everything and i heard 'sway bar' mentioned so i'm sure they checked it, however, can someone post a pic of the bolt on the sway bar that i should check? FYI the sound is ONLY coming from the right rear.

Scott, it sounds like your opinion is that it is NOT the coilovers themselves and is probably something else loose? i'm just trying to figure out what it since since the installer said everything is torqued down properly.

Well its really hard to guess what it is you are experiencing without actually having the car in front of me to check out. It could also be the pre-load that is set on the rear struts vs the spring height. Did the installer keep the factory rubber o-ring type thing in the rear lower spring bucket? Are all the collars on the shock bodies tight, as well as the brake lines and abs/wheel speed sensor guides on the coilover body? sway bar and end links tight and have enough play (so they are not hitting when they articulate)?

There can be a lot of other things as well, wish I could be more help.

These pictures are from M.Bonani's DIY but he had the closest pics to what i was referring to. In the first picture, make sure these two are tight and maybe you need some extra grease on your bushings. Second picture is the endlinks was talking about circled in black not green.
