PLEASE READ: 2K1 Suspension Replaced - Page 2

JRS1civic · 06-24-2003

i have a 2002 civic and am lowered on skunk2 coilovers. i am pretty sure that my shocks are blown and need to be replaced soon. but my car is only at 10,000 miles, will honda replace them for free? or did i void the warranty by lowering my car? is my car still under warranty?

i remember reading the clunking noise is becuase of a fualty spring design. on some of the stock 01 civic springs. the bottom coils sometime hit each other causing the clinking sound.

i have a 2001 coupe ex and have had no such problems. i did however had the break groan problem in which i found out was a TSB a few days ago. but its too late.. i replaced it with cross drilled slotted rotors.. 01 got wayy to many problems

Is the recall on all civics or just different models? I have a 2001 ex coupe. I hear some creaking noises every now and then. I was going to purchase a strut bar to see if the creaking would stop. If its all models, please let me know. I could just go to Honda and see. Thanx for the info. Later.

well time to go aftermarket, I got the problem too, may as well just spend some money on some good struts we'll see how that turns out....

the dealer said its only on the sedans not coupes?!?

RIC3BOY · 07-12-2003

as far as i know its only the sedans. i have a LX-G sedan (cdn) and i had to get my two front struts replaced, the rear shocks are ok.

as far as the coupes, my sister has a LX coupe and my cousin has a Si-G coupe, and they both get their annual check ups, oil changes, tire rotations, etc etc all at honda. so im guessin the tech ppl at honda probably checked out there rides and there was no problems, since there was no replacements done.

and for those ppl who havent got theirs replaced, i suggest u do it since its free anyway, and anything wrong w/ ur suspension cant be good for your car! symptoms for me were knocking and popping noises everytime i turned the wheels at a standstill.

hope this helps, good luck

yeah , my car makes a weird noise too when i turn right, i had my car lowered for a while now and tired of al the head bobbing, i called Ground-control yesterday and the guy told me that KYB are on market, so i'll be getting some relief soon, later this week

so, let me clarify this: this is ONLY for the sedan and not the coupe?

I have a 2002 DX and I just found out that my rear driver side shock is blown. I have been hearing a clunking noise since I have bought it but I didnt know what is was. I sounds like a Helicopter was behind me. See today I was supposed to install my Neuspeed springs and noticed how the rest of the shocks were hard and the rear driver side was too soft. I ended up not installing the springs and called the dealer to see if there was a recall or something. They said I was suppose to have received a letter from Honda about a recall. I am going to take to the dealer Tuesday and I will see what they say.

I was so exited that I was finally going to get my car lowered and didnt. Oh well!

eddie5spdx · 07-19-2003

Oh yeah I have a coupe not a sedan.

actually the problem is that the frt struts leak thats what causes the noises, I've seen this is on 2001 and 2002 civics sedans and coupes all trim levels we have been replacing the entire strut and spring set on some. The early 2001s also had a problem with the frt springs rubbing were it sits on the strut perch for a couple of months I was replacing at least 1 pair a week
It got so bad that they were on national back order for a while

Blv · 07-23-2003

I went to my dealer (Honda of Santa Monica) and thay didn't know anything about the recall

I asked them to replace the suspension though, but they didn't..

aznrj · 07-24-2003

would the Tein SS solve the problem?? I dunno much about suspension..

S2KREY · 07-24-2003

well to late for mine mine warrenty endedbut anyone know how much will it be for new rear shocks...mine bounces and i feel hella stupid... and i sold my old springs. how much does it cost for tekico shocks?..email me Ask4Rey@hotmail.com thanx

eddie5spdx · 07-24-2003

Well they replaced my strut and not my spring. They didnt ask me any questions and just replaced it for free. I going to start installing my Neuspeed and my SPC camber kit this weekend and I hope I dont find any new surprises.
