guys im running T1R bmax coilovers in my GD3. when i hit a bump in the road or theres too much travel i get this loud creak/bump. I have a suspicion they are not bolted down tight or something. OR are my shocks gone? i really dont know.
Has it only happened recently? How long have you had your coilovers on for?
If only recently and you're just noticing, it could be the solid/pillowball top mount banging against the chassis mount.
Check to make sure the spring seat or lock nut is secure. It is seldom this issue if its a creak or squeak though...
Then check the top mount [Assuming you have pillow top mount], try to rotate them, if they are very stiff or squeaking, it could be the bearing in them are gone...
Failing that try to check your damper, push down on it and see if you can replicate the noise, if you can then you may be looking at a rebuild...
the jazz does has macpherson struts. i should note it only happens at the rear, and the real part that could be moving is around the top mount. whether it be the solid/pillowball or a loose nut. Someone please just come and check it out. hurstville area, anyone?
im in QLD at the moment for work ....but if you pay for my flight down and back ill come and sus it out for you :)Quote:
