Noise from Coilovers

kenchan · 12-14-2010, 02:30 PM

too lazy to read the entire thread but have you determined which corner the noise is coming from?

do you have any knowledge or have worked on a car? if so, start removing bits to find the root cause. here's where i would start on rattles.

listen for which part of the car the noise is coming from. Is it the front or rear?

unlink one of the endlink (dont need to remove) front or rear and see if that eliminates the noise.

if not, link the endlink, remove the strut or shock and replace using stock bits. dont worry about the alignment for now.

if you determine it's the shock or strut, use the stock mounts on the aftermarket strut/shock and see if the noise comes back.

if it doesn't then it's your mounts.

if it does, then it's your stock/strut. get it replaced.

finished.
