That's an easy enough thing to check and tackle!Ģ) Like I said, the entire kit is pretty damn new. I will take a look to make sure everything is tight. The car was corner balanced so this point was adjusted and did not present the sound. Its a standard setup whereby there are two rings that get tightened together and locked into place. Now onto the few things ya mentioned.ġ) I will double check the lower spring perch on that side. The entire kit has maybe 3,000 miles on it total so I don't think any of its various parts are worn (ie spherical bearing). The coilover system was installed using TC Kline's solid mount camber plates. shoot me a PM and maybe we can get a small DIY/Troubleshoot-This-and-That meet?Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for the reply, Ken! I was hoping you'd catch this thread. I appreciate the advice and help! I notice that 2 out of 3 of you are in NJ! If you're up for a bit of troubleshooting fun and games. Is this kind of sound something that'd come from a ball-joint on the C/A starting to go? Now, with that said, the control arms on my car are the age of the car and have 53,000 miles on them. Moving on, the suspension (coilover) kit was installed about 1,000 miles ago and initially didn't result in this sound I'm describing. They are the PowerFlex polyurethane ones so I'll make sure that the bushing hasn't slipped out of the carrier. The FCABs have been on the car for at least 15,000 miles and never presented the sound. I will double check that they have been installed correctly but its sort of hard to mess up two bolts per side. The endlinks are the most recently installed part. Also, the sound really does sound like an old mattress spring being pulled apart and compressed and plucked. It is ONLY on the right side (passenger) but occurs when I turn the wheel left and right at a stop or near stop. Just looking to see if anyone has had this happen before.Ĭlick to expand.To clarify, the issue is NOT on the left and right side. I'll probably get it up and have a friend turn the steering wheel. I hope the sound is audible from outside the car. Just this very odd sound.Īny insight would be much appreciated! I'll probably get the car up on jack stands over the Thanksgiving break to have a look. In general, the car feels very solid and doesn't have ANY vibration or pulls to one side or the other. Could control arms on their way out make this noise? My FCAB is NOT worn. I inspected the spring and strut assemble and things in the general vacinity. Also, my suspension was just installed a month or so ago and its just presenting itself now so I doubt it has anything to do with that. My endlinks were JUST replaced with adjustable ones so I know its not that. I'd say the sound/symptoms present themselves 75% of the time. I feel it very slightly in the steering wheel when it pops. It kind of sounds like a spring being coiled up and then some clicks/pops. When I turn my steering wheel left OR right it makes the noise. It seems to happen only when I'm at a stop or when I'm creeping along under 5MPH.

So I've been having this strange creaking/popping noising coming from my right front corner.
