I recently installed my stiffy and have noticed a knocking sound coming from the passenger side of the car under hard exceleration and shifts. Anyone else expierience this or know what it could be?

 

I also recently installed my Stiffy And I Have No Noise... Did You Install the rubber washer it came with ?

 

Ya i installed both rubber washers. I am running a KRRH and the stock front sway bar i wonder if my headers could be hitting my sway?

 

are you only running a stiffy and no motor mounts or inserts?

 

also they say you can adjust the stiffy.. haha how stiff do you have it set on?

 

^ Just the stiffy. I have it set on 11mm

 

the stiffy did not help my ep out. the motor mounts made a huge difference.. no more noise at all, i still get real bad wheel hop so i think something else is wrong.. but no more noise for sure. to be honest i think i threw that stiffy thing in a junk parts box after the motor mounts were installed.

 

If i had money for full mounts i would have got them but since i dont im keepin the stiffy.

 

I went overboard and got both the stiffy and the front/rear mount inserts. I've never had a lot of noise, but the steering wheel shakes at idle and when the AC is on. I ended up finding a thread on a Scion website a few years back that gave alternative tie rod ends to use with the stiffy that had urethane between the bushing race and the outer shell to keep them quiet. McmasterCarr sells them.

The pics are gone, but the descriptions are still there...

I would run the stiffy and ESMM inserts

Have you changed your stock tires? because they suck ballz. I got the stiffy an a better all season performace tire. Have not had wheel hop since.

 

???

 

Ya my tires are **** i definetly need new ones.

 

Threw ??? for my post quote not showing. Not to you to hurry, lol. No knock here with the stiffy. Noise increased in the cabin but thats normal. Might want to check the sway bar.

 

99% sure that your header is just knocking the front sway.

Motor Mounts > Stiffy

Not the cheapest solution though.

 

Stiffy.

I came in here just to say that.

 

Aww... you would ^

I was surprised when I was talking about the girl I've been seeing in the EP squad thread that you didn't ask for pictures of said girl lol. I was waiting to see the post hahaha!

 

I don't frequent the EP Squad thread very much.

 

Then that would explain it...
