Rep Power: 298

Setup - 2001 civic sedan lx
- Tokico Struts and lowering springs

My suspension makes a clunk/pop sound usually when I make a left hand turn and go over a small bump.

The sound comes from my Front Passenger side Wheel.

MY springs also tend to make sounds when I just turn my wheel left and right sounds like the spring is adjusting?


Any help would be much appreciated. Even better if someone can fix my problem, I am willing to Pay to get it fixed.

Thanks ahead of time

you didnt index the strut mount properly when reinstalling.. you gotta do it again

 

Would this have caused damage to his car already?

i told him this a million times and he wont listen....


dude, just take it back to where you had it done and tell them to properly index the mount.... or if you did it yourself FIX IT!!!!!

nope

I did go back already he already had them indexed correctly he showed me it. But he tried correcting it again. sound has gone away a little bit, but still slightly there when i make left hand turns and hit bumps still.

it sounds to me like the spring is not spinning properly when making turns and is thus jumping and making those noises. take out ur top mount bearing, take it apart and grease it up and put it back together. this will allow it to spin better and the noise should go away for good.

mine did this forever. i keep hearing people say its that its not indexed correctly which is wrong. i had mine indexed correctly because i have the L and the R on my upper mounts. so i know i did it right. and it doesnt match up unless you do it this way. but i left out those round things that go right under the uppermounts that have all the ball bearings in them. i put those in, and now i dont get the clicking noise. the end.

Did you (or the installer) put the black rubber like jacket on the bottom end of the spring? My car was making the same noises over small bumps and it drove me nuts. I reinstalled the springs with the rubber jackets and the noise went away.
