My friend gave me his coilvers (not sure what brand) and i have some kyb agx adjustable and everytime we lift the car or drop it there is this snapping and popping noise from the springs. i just install my shocks hopeing the noise would go away but it didnt .When i make a hard right turn onto a drive way thats at a angle it would also make a loud popping noise. I was wondering what it is and how i can fix it?

 

every set of coilovers i have done have made niose. usually it is the sleve popping on the shock body.

I completely agree. The popping noise comes from hard transition from left to right or when powering out of a corner.

 

anyway to fix this problem?

 

did you put the rubber o-rings on before you put on the sleeves??
those help to keep the sleeve on the shock!
so that might be the problem

 

My car does this, but only the front left and under heavy load (braking, bumps in a corner). I think it may be the suspension binding as I have not found any loose bolts. The is with KYB AGXs and cheap-o lowering springs.

Yes... dont buy cheap coil overs. Buy the real ones with threaded shocks.

Cost o lot but as they say.... you get what you pay for.
