everytime i hit like a little bump fast or slow i hear this sounds coming from the front driver side part of the car. it sounds like old wood floors creeking. umm can you guys tell me what i need to change?

 

is this stock suspension?

 

mine does this too..

bump for help

 

hahahaa, mine does that too, but mine kinda sounds like metal on metal squeeking like bed springs squeeking.

been like that since i put my suspension on, i just thought it was normal. i have neuspeed race springs and tockiko blues btw.

 

It could be anything. I suggest buying or downloading a Helms manual, and checking out all of the suspension components. The Helms manual will tell you what to look for, and the best way to fix any problems. They're about $60, but well worth it.

terrible, horrible combination, and yes I speak from experience w/ my friend's car. One of your shocks might be blown.

 

I agree; that's waay too low for blues.

 

bump, mine makes the same "metal on metal" sound. I just put them in, H&R Race w/ Tokico Illuminas. Maybe driven 200-300 miles on 'em.

 

same here. h&r race springs with koni yellows. been like that since i slapped them on. i think it may be the inactive coils that are so close that are making that metal clinking noise.

 

Hmmm...the only suspension I've ever owned that didn't make funny noises was the stock setup on my WRX. I just get used to the noise.

 

Yeah my sp3 koni yellow/ neuspeed race also make that noise, but it from when the spring being compress or something, they make contact with each other and that where the noise come from. If you park the car and look at the spring almost all of it is compress and touching. So when you hit a hole it uncompress then compress oonce on even ground, which make the sound...

 

if its the sound im thinkin of it might be your bushings... happened to me

come to think of it, it stopped when i lowered my car, instead of vise versa.. haha

yeah, on my tein's, they have this anti-squeek thingy that goes over the spring, my stock ones had this too. but it doesnt seem to work. but i think on http://www.consumerguide.com , if you look under the DA's it has this as one of there problems, squeeky suspension, and it says how to fix it. not sure how good there method is, and to lazy to post it up. so if someone can check it out, and maybe post it so others can give there $.02

 

one thing i noticed with my set up sports and agx's is that the top nut doesnt tighten down far enough to the top washer and hitting bumps causes the two to clap together every now and then,so my remedy is to add a washer or two between the top washer and nut so theres no play in there when the nut is torqued down...i havent gotten around to finding the washers yet but when i do i"ll let u know if it solved the problem..

tell me about it, i would never ever recommend this setup to anybody.

my shocks aren't blown though, at least for now. running good 2 1/2 years with them.
