Rep Power: 268

Okay, i lowered my car a few weeks ago. i used some basic sleeved coil overs. they were fine for a couple of days, then a weird popping noise started happening. i figured they were loose so i tightened them. i figured that would help but it didnt. just recently the noise has gotten louder and more destinctive. It seems like ill have allignment off to the right, and when i hear that pop, it goes pretty hard to the left. i cant move my wheel and pop it back and forth, but when i try to jack the car up and find it, its gone. does anyone have any sort of clue to what this is??


thanks for the help

whats sup airman. what kind of coilovers did you get? if you got the generic ones where the springs in the front are skinnier then the stock ones, it could be the coilovers popping out of placement and movin around in the strut because theyre not properly seated. happened to my friends civic. let me know

basically get springs cause 01+ civics arent made for coilovers which is gay!!

happened with mine. if i turned right or left the car would pull hard that way until i turned the opposite way and heard it click back.

i just bought skunk2 springs to change out my ground control coilovers.

thanks, yea they are smaller, but they have it set up to where they tighten down onto the shock itself. i do notice when i jack it up and re lower it, the noise is gone for a while. im sure its just bouncing around in there. im just wondering if thats going to do any damage

^^probably not, but id go with lowering springs before generic coilovers
