Hi guys, just bought 2002 honda civic 1.6l. Had to change strut bearings and after that problems acured. When turning steering wheel i can hear noise from strut assembly. I figured out that noise comes from spring. Spring does not rotate with strut bearing but it twists until the point it jumps to compencate rotation and noise appears at that point. When assemblying i noticed that when spring is released bearing starts to rotate very hard. I tried buying new bearings in case that ones had some kind of defect but that was not the case. Spring is eibach and it fits my honda, strut itself is straight. Also from old bearing i noticed that bearing does not have rolling elements and it is actually sliding bearing, maybe there is alternative that has rolling elements? Maybe somebody had same problems or maybe some ideas guys couse i havemt got any left.
