okay i just installed my TEIN springs however at installation i notcied a realy werird sound, the sound only accures when i turn the wheel to the right or when i break i am not sure what it is but it sounds as though the springs are rubbing up agasint somthing, if someone could please help me solve this problem feel free to post

thanks steve

 

its probably just the springs creaking. wait a couple weeks and it should be gone. if it seems to ever get worse check the install . theres not much that can rub up against stuff under there.

 

why would it not do it on the other side though thanks steve

 

just depends. maybe one of the rubber spring seats isnt quite on right.

 

what is a rubber spring seat

 

theres 8 total on the car . two for each spring one for the bottom and one for the top of the spring. they creater a lil cushion and stop noises from being transmitted thru the chassis from the springs moving/scraping/vibrating against the spring seats

 

so if this was off then there could be a spring cracking noise i mean i can hear it in the car and on the outside of the car thanks for your help

 

yeah if they werent reused = all bad. in the past i had removed said seats to lower my car more and for a .5 inch lower the horrible noise made me put em back on

 

so when i take it to the shope what should i tell them to check up on thanks for all your help

 

just say that you are getting weird noises when you do this or do that and see what they say after they check it out. if they nothing is wrong ask if it is normal and ask if all rubber seats are still attached and installed. if u still have a problem ask to talk to their manager. and then calmly explain the problem

 

I have the same problem, the noise has quiet down though. But , I think I didn't line the rubber booth perfectly thats why.

 

does any one know were i can find a diogram of what it should look like once the spring is installed and what to make sure is attched extra thanks steve

 

well the noise got worse today and the shope wont look at it, i took it to goodytear and they said there was nothing wrong but when i drive the noise is really loud do you think that it could be the springs wearing in or do you think that they installed the right one wrong or incomplete

 

The springs were not installed correctly, teins are known for perfect installations. I recomend going back and having them inspected. I know I would if someone had a problem over here.

 

Sounds like the springs aren't properly seated.

 

take it back!!
