FromG2Z · 07-18-2011, 11:41 AM

^ beach thx for info. I need to try shooting without gr.

LunaZ · 07-18-2011, 12:37 PM

Took a break from my day off domestication to kenchan 25 miles out of the way to go to the Batteries Plus store and pick up some watch batteries for my hygrometers. Turned a 15 minute errand into a hour long joy ride.
I'm really diggin' the way the car feels with the Swifts, although I've noticed that the rear end now makes a lot of clunky noises of bumps and I'm developing more rattles in the hatch area.

sounds like fun!

hummm... are the springs rubbing against the spring carrier or something? would it help to turn the spring by quarter of a turn or not?

ive noticed on some cars the spring rubs the carrier if not oriented a certain way.

I haven't noticed any noises or clunking since I installed mine. I believe I twisted mine into the pocket to ensure they were seated but it has been a while. Definately no hatch rattles...

Hmmm...
Heeeyyyyy, wait a minute!

I'll take another look at the spring orientation, but I was pretty OCD about making sure everything was lined up.
It's sort of a hollow, flat sounding thud on sharp bumps.

kenchan · 07-18-2011, 02:12 PM

luna- is it coming from both sides?

also check the torque of your spare tire clamp.

LunaZ · 07-18-2011, 02:28 PM

I'll have to look at it another time.
The asphalt of my driveway is so meltingly hot that I can't jack the car up LOL!
