I just lowered my tc about 2 weeks ago, the drop is great. I am using the progress technology springs, about 1.8" drop. One of my springs however is making a creaking noise when i go over bumps slowly. I've determined it is my rear passenger spring. I took a look under the car and noticed the spring needs to be turned a few inches to the right, because the bottom is not settled into the little groove. Is there a way i can turn this without taking the whole strut out again?

 

If the spring is not seated properly, take out the strut and fix it.

 

does that mean i have to do alignment again?

 

check and see if there is something loose

 

a couple weeks ago everytime i went over bumps i heard noise from my L/F strut......come to find out i had to tighten the top nut

 

I checked that and it seems nothing is loose, its more of a creaking sound so i definately know it has to be the spring. The lil groove that the end of the spring is supposed to settle against is a couple inches away, and i think thats what is making the spring creak.

 

^ u def need to change that asap.......thats def not good
