since coilovers fitted

Post by M15RPD84 »

Since ive had my coilovers fitted ive got alot of noises coming from n/s/f. I have checked on a four post ramp that anti roll bar is not knocking the d/shaft. I seem to also be getting what i can call boingy noises.The noises from front sound like something is knocking. The coils are only would down a 1/3 of the way.Thanks in advance.

I had exactly this, couldn't diagnose it exactly but I found it's something called 'Coil slap', where the spring doesn't sit in the seat properly.

There was no easy fix, I just sold on my FK AK Streets and moved over to JOMs, no issues for the past 8 months!
