Rep Power: 0 Ground control spring popping
This is a double post, be forewarned. The thread I posted in vehicle issues isn't getting any exposure because people only go there when they have a problem. So....I did a search, couldn't find the answer to the problem. My GC coilovers are making a popping noise. I know there were a few threads on this a couple months ago, but again, can't find them. I know someone came up with a solution for the springs popping, so if anyone remembers or has fixed this problem, please enlighten me. It's annoying as hell to hear them pop half the time I try to turn.

Rep Power: 0 that happened when i first installed my GC coilovers...the problem should be the front 2 spring when turning rite? the solution is that there is a stock part (a black round thingy) that was supposed to be kept there..it's supposed to prevent the springs from moving or poping in your case...
so just put that stock part back on...hope this helps

Rep Power: 0 What i have been told is to grease up the springs really good, at the top brushings, you know the circle rubber thing that sits onto of the springs, yeah i was told do that, grease em up good or call ground control for help

Rep Power: 0 I have had my Ground Controls for about 4-5 months now & I have never had any sort of "popping" noise when I turn or any other time. I'm guessing it must be an incorrect installation that leads to the "popping" noise.

Rep Power: 0 2 questions.
1) Did you do the install yourself? If not, when the person that did do the install use an air wrench to tighten the strut back down?
2) Is it cold there? Its cold over here and when it gets cold my springs make popping noises. It will go away when it gets warm.
