alright this is what happened. a long time ago i got r1 coilovers, i used them for a bit but then the sound got to me and i was like f**k this. around the same time, i was moving to dallas and i said screw it put the stock suspention back in. so they did that, and when i go tit the allignment was all messed up.........but in a weird way. When i turned the wheel to the left it would make like a POING!!! sound and then the steering wheel would be off to the left and the alignment would be off as well. i would turn it to the right a little bit and the POING sound would happen again, but it would center itself back up (or close to center)...then turn it all the way to the right and POING allignment is off again. so i was like wtf...i took it to honda and they said it would be like ten million dollars tjust to take the springs out to see what the problem was, and not even fiix it. so i couldnt do that becase i didnt have money (because of the move and the price to put springs back in). so i take it back to the shop and the guy told me that i hit something or there is something wrong with my car!!!! f**k that!! if there was something wrong with my car he did it..
anyways, i figured he f**ked my stock suspention up and decided to buy skunk 2 coils and get them put it. well i did this, but the allignment/POING was STILL THERE. so basically i was out of money and was forced to drive to dallas with it and now i am awaiting money to get honda to look at it.


ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? and what can be done (besides having honda look at it)
YES i know i should have had honda do it of not go to the shop i went to and everything else, but im new to owning a car. ANY help is appriciated because i cant sell my car like this for over 8 grand
peace

I had a similar sound coming from car after I had an accident on stock suspension. It would happen while turning the wheel or braking, even after pressing on the gas. It was supposedly the front axles making the sound. Well, after I dropped the car on ground controls, the sound went away. Odd. It could've been my springs and I have them right next to me... I can look at them and see if there's any problem with any one of them.

I'm no mechanic but I see nothing visually wrong with my stock springs and the rest of the parts that go along with the front suspension. This is only my perspective though. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

I had that noise with my B+G coilovers too. I also had the exact same problem, with the wheels getting knocked out of allignment everytime i turned my wheels. I did nothing about it, the problem fixed itself after 4-5 months. only to be replaced with another [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

i get this weird noise sounding like a spring stretching or rubber or something, everytime I go over a bump when i first start driving my car. after i've been driving for awhile everything sounds fine. I think it may have something to do with my torn tie-rod boots. still havent replaced them after 5 months
