Noise after coilover install
Recently installed coilovers on my car, and I'm experiencing clicking/knocking coming from the front. Thanks in a advance for the feedback!

Bolt check. Control arms, sway bars, strut tops, strut pinch bolt, etc.
My dad just put Sachs Performance CO's in his GTI, and making sure all of the bolts were tightened correctly fixed a host of clunks and noises he was having. There's still some clicks and pops, but it's due to a spring design issue causing binding, that they are currently R&D'ing for a fix. How are the FA's? I've been looking at a set of either the 510's or the MSC's. Christmas is right around the corner...

Did you install Swift Thrust Sheets? They allow the springs to turn under load.

Are you running camber plates?
Second like others said make sure everything is tight and lastly make sure you didn't install something upside down or incorrectly. It's easy to do! Also Gangplank did you run your ohlins/Swift's without thrust sheets and any noticeable difference? I haven't had any issue with noise aside from camber plate chatter at low speeds. |
