I was working on my hatch a bit today when i decided to look at my rear suspension because i had noticed it had been making a clicking/poping noise when i went over any bumps or rough road. I checked the suspension all around the car till i got to the passenger rear and noticed that the sleeve the spring slides over was cracked in half from the top to about 90% down the sleeve. I didnt get any pics, i will tomarrow but has this happened to anyone else? Does function and form make replacement parts?

are your FF's still under warranty? i believe they have a 1 year warranty.

Dr. Willy

I think its been over a year, im not 100 percent sure. But i also thought they only had warrenty if installed by a professional and you have to reciepts proving it.

Dr. Willy

here are some pics of what it looks like. they are kinda crappy its hard to get a decent pic while laying underneath the car.





as you can see the sleeve is just in half....

yep, the rubber dust cover is torn, that's all.

Dr. Willy

should i take the coilover out and take that off or just leave it?

you hsould just leave it like that, it's a rubber part rubbing againgst a metal part, it has no reason to be making the clicking/popping sound you described, keep looking, this isn't your culprit.
