View Full Version : squeeky springs
psepter 12-08-2008, 01:33 AM so i have lowered my car on tein htechs about a month ago and it looks great its just the front passenger side spring squeaks when i go over small bumps at a low speed and when someone is in the passenger seat even more...any one know whats going on??????
Technitarded 12-08-2008, 01:43 AM where did you purchase these htechs? this is quite important
draxcaliber 12-08-2008, 01:45 AM i had a problem like this except it was on the driver side, i think it was the sway bar bushings, so i replaced it with the hotchkis set, and it went away!
psepter 12-08-2008, 01:47 AM i forget the name but it was a reputable place they specialized in tc and other cares its a store in north carolina... y does this matter they are the real deal
Technitarded 12-08-2008, 01:47 AM hmm weird... modded sway?
XIEmperorIX 12-08-2008, 01:55 AM possibly either sway bar bushings, or it could be that one of your springs isn't seated right on the strut which can cause some noise.
psepter 12-08-2008, 02:37 AM nahhhh no modded sway ...its just weird its not a loud noise but i just know its there just wanna make sure it means there are problems
XIEmperorIX 12-08-2008, 02:50 AM has it been doing it since you lowered it or did it just start? and did you do it yourself or have it done at a shop?
Technitarded 12-08-2008, 02:58 AM the only thing I can think of (within my knowledge which is quite limited) would be if you didnt buy the htechs from Tein/Tein licensed dealer
ebay is notorious for fake Teins
yellowxhoodie 12-08-2008, 03:56 AM its prob not seated right.
just take off whichever wheel the noise is coming from and look to make sure that everything is seated and lined up correctly.
if you had it done at a shop, then take it back there and demand that they fix it because there shouldnt be irregular noises.

mengsta 12-15-2008, 11:17 AM mine does that too for some reason.
psepter 12-15-2008, 02:06 PM any ideas y??
bebe2630 01-11-2009, 01:02 AM The same thing is hapening to me but I hear it on the back wheels when I go slow on da speed bumps. They sound old or something. I took it to da dealer to get it fix and they said it was my shocks being loose . Supposely they adjust everything and put it back into place, but that same day once they fixed it I went over a bump and the noise is still there. I'm about to take it to another dealer because theres a lot of speed bumps here and it makes my car sound bad.
mine squeek all the time when i go over bumps and dips always has and it doesn't bother me what so ever
