Coilover \ Suspension Noise? Help!

Post by Kim9N »

Fitted some Hot Tuning coilovers at the weekend, left the helper springs in but wound them to the bottom.

There is a wierd sort of noise as I break or turn at low speeds, it doesnt happen at all while im driving, even if I hit a pot hole, I dont hear it.

Any ideas people?!

Ive read so much im unsure, is it ARB? Bushes? Drop Links?

TELL ME! :lol:

Yup I would agree with "ryandel_9n3"....most probably is the problem.....but I would also get your anti roll bar bushes and wishbone bushes checked.....

Also is it a squeeky noise.....?

i have these and they are bad for spring creaks when steering or breaking! to solve them i removed em, stripped em down and put lots of lithium grease on the springs where they seat and rub top and bottom on both springs, also stripped my top mounts and packed with grease!!! Been fine now for a few months !!! 8)
