Coilover Noise

[Mixtapes]

Hey, before you guys say it yes i have searched all 14pages in noob forums and 20pages in Sus/Handling. But nothing really with an EXACT answer.

I hear a creeking/knocking noise from the front driver side appearing from my coilovers when i take a sharp turn & its really irritating. How could i resolve this ? Tighten Bolts ?

Thanks Heaps Guys. :thumbsup:

It doesnt necessarily mean its your coilovers dude...it could be a number of things as there is a handful of moving parts and joins in that area. Coilovers usually knock over bumps too, not just cornering. Best thing to do i take the wheel off and sus it out. Look for any loose bolts, pins or joints or even better is to take it to a workshop even if its just for a diagnosis.

What type of coilovers and how old are they? Knocking from the actual strut itself could also mean it needs to be reconditioned.

IMO go see TSR (http://www.shockreco.com.au/) down at slacks creek. They should be able to help you diagnose the problem properly and suggest a solution ;)

Since they're relatively new it's probably just something loose as a few others have said.
