Default BC racing coilover noise?

I have had my bc coils on for about 2 months a couple weeks ago i started hearing a pop/clunk noise when im slowy moving in to a parking spot. only does it when i turn right into a spot? maybe cause theyre maxxed out?

anybody else having this problem? i checked and everything is tight and in place.

thanks for the help in advance guys.

i have bcs and they just seem to creak a lot not, maybe check to make sure the spring and perches are seated snuggly against each other?

all that i get is just some squeaky noises when im making u-turns
try to isolate which area its coming from and inspect all the bolts / springs / perches make sure nothings loose?

i'm not sure if the BR coilovers come with adjustable front endlinks, but it is highly likely that the front endlinks are too long. you just need to use some shorter front endlinks

Nothing is loose and spring, bolts, perches are on there tight. I'm thinking it might be the front end link. Would anyone know where I could find some? Adjustable?

Mine were quiet at first. after a few months, my rear creak everytime i go at an angle in a elevation change. EX: going over bumps, if i go at an angle, it creaks on the rears.

I've pulled it out, readjusted everything, checked every bolt, and can't seem to find the problem. Its more of an annoyance than anything, but as long as nothing is damage, im fine with it i guess lol

If you do happen to find a cure for this let us know!

^Do you have an aftermarket rear sway bar? I know the TRD sway bar bushings will need to be greased again after awhile, that's the only squeaky sound I've been hearing.

I don't have any after market Sway, but i did come across another thread, where the guy talked about re-greasing some nooks and crannies. and he didnt hear it again? any inputs on that?

I have had these on for around 6 months now, gotta say really un-impressed. What settings do you have yours on? I am running an arch height of 60mm which leaves little gap, have the fronts t 4mm preload and 15 and 15 on the adjusters...no matter what i do the back makes a slamming sound over bumps... thinking of getting rid of them to be honest

My front coils have about 3 threads left and at 18clicks. My rears are maxxed and at 18clicks. I haven't messed with the preload. Could that be where my noise is coming from?
