Need some help or advices badly guys!!!!

I ordered Tein Pillow ball upper mount there couple weeks ago and they promised me that it should come in first week of June. It's now on the 2nd week of June and still the parts have not come in yet. I've already paid for part and installation, and I'm a bit worry. I called them and they told me that to keep callin' back and check on it since the parts are not in stock at this time, which pissed the shlt out of me.

UPDATE: Got a call from Inline 4 today and adviced me that Tein does not have my part and they will give me full refund. My car is making some mad poppin' sound when i turn, and i don't know what to do or what to buy to get rid of this noise. Any advices guy? need help badly!!

ps. Inline 4 advice me to drop off my car and they will take a look, hopefully make some custom **** to get rid of the noise. Total cost: $200 (SHOULD I PAY THEM OR WHAT?)

Yea that sucks, I would wait a little longer. I understand that shops sometimes have no control over a certain order that is backed...

They might be laggin because Tein is back ordered...you can try contacting Tein and asking if they have it available to see if thats the problem. If you don't receive it from Inline Four in another week then I would call them and find out what your options are or just get a refund altogether.

Backed ordered stuff can sometimes take forever to get; just be patient. They're reputable, I know a lot of people who got stuff from there and I don't believe it's there fault that it's taking so long.

Ive never dealt with Inline4 before but some of my friends have and they told me their not too bad. Like everyone said, price is kind of high and the tein thing might not be their fault. Its just that sometimes things get backordered.

Its on back order.. 3months?.. sorry to jack your thread, but its the same thing, but different company.

I doubt it, i think it's the bearin mount on my car. I heard some guy said that he just order the bearing from honda for 25 bucks but that was the last i heard. I'm so confused and frustrated. It made poping noise from the spring.

I have Tein SS, when I first slapped on the suspension, it was making a lot of noise. Make sure you lube or oil down the top mount as well the other rings that attach to it. I had a mad poppin' noise in the front everytime I made a turn, go over speed bump, and going over some holes on the street. I found out that the top nuts weren't screwed on tight.

Always make sure you tighten everything when you lower the car and physically put it on the ground again (after installation). You might be surprised to what you find out it could really be. I know I did.

Hope this helped!

I am having the same problem as well I have yet to take a look at it but I have been hearing it for about 3 weeks now and nothing has happened I figure it could be the bearing mount or maybe just something rubbing like the rims or the tire somewhere in there.
