tein clunking fix?

Boost_Junkie · 03-15-2006

i know the option would have been to get 01 mounts or the pillowball mounts but meh...i was thinking about just greasing up the whole thing?

makes more noise in rain/cold than warm weather..

anyone have solutions?

i have 01 mounts on my tein ss and it was clunking for a while. the problem was the top mount bearing wasn't spinning when the car was turning so the springs were jumping and making noise. i greased up the bearings and the noise went away for a while, then came back in small intervals but then went away completely. try it out, should do the trick

btw do u not have 01 mounts??

no i used my stockers (05) mounts, what kind of greaser did you use?

how did you get in there? i dont wanna have to take it out to do it

i used rust check greaser but wd40 will do. i would HIGHLY recommend you use 01 mounts tho.

with the 01 mounts you have to index the top mounts right...if you dont put it together right it'll clunk no matter what you do...its the same with lowering springs and whatnot on oem or aftermarket shocks

oh ya the way i did it was i took the strut assembly apart to grease it. You have to remember, your life is riding on your suspension, so do it right no matter what.

its done right, but the teins notoriously clunk...imma grease it up big time...

its not grease. its the indexing

Exactly.
Springs do not make noise.
Improper strut assebly does.
Stick at top of the forum will tell you how to get rid of the noice property, should I say not to have it it in the first place.

we did mark the assembly before take it apart...so i know its not improper install...
