Stance Issue
Hello Everyone,
I know there have been several threads about the STANCE but I would like to address this issue maybe someone can help.
I purchased my STANCE setup about a year ago and just recently when I put my stock wheels back on and lowered the suspension a bit, on the rear right side everytime I hit a bump or go over a sligt bump I hear a loud thumping sound.
I called STANCE about this problem and they said thad either a rubber bushing came loose or I was bottoming out my coilovers due to incorrect setup. I took the wheels off checked the bushings seemed ok and lifted the car to the highest point. The noise improved but I still here the sound over small or large bumps.
Question: Is it possible that this coilover is broken if thats even possible? Seems like every side is ok except this one.
Thanks,

OP, It is most likely the same thing that a lot of true rear coilover users experience and that is the upper spindle bushing is fully compressing when the suspension compresses causing the noise. Your not alone here. I am still trying to find someone to make a spherical bushing for this oem rubber bushing.
Tighten everything down again and see if that helps. Also make sure there isn't too much preload on the spring, this can cause noise sometimes too.

Thanks its just frustrating to pay 1200 for a coilover set and have this happen. I shoulda just stuck with my stock suspension with the eibach lowering springs. Handled just fine.

The biggest difference is that at higher speeds, the Eibach with stock springs bounced everywhere. It felt totally floaty. Of course you should use aftermarket shocks but still, its a huge difference at least for me in handling.

It's nice to know there are other people with this problem! Mine really comes from the front...i always assumed it was the shock bottoming out! It can get pretty annoying on bumpy roads.

I've dealt with it... by turning up my system, or rolling down my windows and listenin to the VQ.

i have a similar problem, a squeaking, thumping noise at low seeds on the passenger side. I just realized that it's the tire/rim just barely touching the lower collar. I'm getting a 5mm spacer to fix the issue (my rears are 10.5 with +35). Check to see you have enough clearance because I seem to remember the same problem when I had my stock wheels on for a couple weeks. Everybody said they made noise so I just accepted it, but found out what the real problem was when I was messing around with the height. Hope that helps.
