The pillowball mount is optional on the SS.

sick of it... giving me too much headache. lol. can anyone recommend a good suspension place in melbourne. preferably northern or western suburbs.

[Suntzu]

Mine is very quiet. I dont have the Tein pillowball. I have the stock rubber and that seems to be the difference.

[jkz]

anyone?

[aaronng]

Have you checked if your upper mount was transferred over properly?

[jkz]

yeh thats been checked. i've confirmed its definately coming from the front one on the drivers side. sounds like a loose bolt clanking on something. i've had all the bolts checked and they were fine.

[aaronng]

Check whether the bolt at the bottom of the coil where it meets the A-arm is loose.

[jkz]

checked and it seems fine.

one thing i noticed... when i grab the spring and rock it a bit, it seems to move and make noise with the green part at the top... i wonder if thats the problem

What GREEN part!??!!?!? The part above the springs are meant to be fully BLACK.
I think it is best if you took a photo of the spring, lower and upper mount.

brought my car to GT Suspension in Flemington. dunno what they did but it worked. problem finally solved thanks to those who have replied...

Could you ask them what they did to fix the noise coz i just got Tein SS on my DC5R and the front drivers side is starting to make the same noise. I do have the upper pillowball mounts.
