Hi, I am new here as you can see, I have a silver 00' accord 4cyl coupe. My friend just installed some tein springs on my car and ever since I've been experiencing some kind of thump noise when I drive on bumps. The sound is coming from the rear of the car. What do you think the problem is? I was thinking something wasn't tightened enough during the installation.

 

Spring slap from the dead coils. All progressive rate springs will do this. You can wrap the close coils with a rubber hose to help.

 

^^X2. do that and you should be okay.

 

yeah i get that too when i got up my drive way with the ksports its all normal

 

Thanks guys, I will try that. I state that this has been an ongoing problem since I installed the springs, just never had a chance to do anything about them. Its been a couple months now, is that still normal?

 

This is a problem thats been engineered into the springs. It serves a purpose, but its still annoying. One day I'll get around to wrapping my H&R's up.

 

make sure that you check the whole spring, to see if there are marks from where they were slapping. Then go ahead and put the tubing on them.

 

My skunk2 lowering spring does the same thing too. Where can I get these rubber wrap?

 

#1 you might have a blown shock ..

#2 might be that you didnt cut the bumpstops in half.
