I installed my Eibach Pro Kit about 2 weeks ago and I started to hear clunking noises in the front when I would maybe pull out of the driveway or at very slow speeds and turning at the same time. When Im driving normal its fine. Some times I hear it sometimes I dont. Any ideas? Im pretty sure I installed it correctly.

 

ok so I should re check the bolts and re tighten them? How tight should they be?

 

Yes, check and torque to specification in the Factory Service Manual. Some common trouble areas for clunking when removing/reinstalling springs:

Loose upper A arm bolt ("Upper Link" per FSM)
Loose upper Spring seat center bolt (the one that bolts to the top of the shock piston)
Loose sway bar end link bolts

 

cool man ill check those out. any other places i should check?

 

cant seem to find the manual. anyone have the torque specs??

 

You can find them here:

Scroll down to near the bottom. There's also a TSB on clunking suspension.

Replace the stars with "35Oz-tech" with a zero, not an "O"

 

the link isn't working.....

 

Yea, it will if you follow the instructions...you have to edit the link because this wonderful site has phobia about other "Z" websites.

 

o ok. i got it

 

ok. i re tightened the bolts. even took the whole strut back out and adjusted the spring to lock position and I still hear the clunk noise when im turning the wheel at low speeds. I cant seem to find out what it is. any help??

 

since it's at a low speed, just ask someone to help you out and listen to exactly where the clunk is coming from
(at least, that's what i would do)

 

i did that and it seems hard to hear it from outside. i dont know

 

with the wheel turned 25 to 30 degree one way or the other, low speed, do you hear one of the front wheel goes clack clack, clunk clunk clack.....?

 

sorta yea mostly clunk clunk. its very subtle. i hear every once in a while. i dont understand. the passenger side center nut under the hood on the strut is tight but the driver side isnt. i cant seem to tighten it. people say use a gun but i did the passenger side with a wrench and rachet. i dont understand why it makes this noise.

 

I have a bit of the same noise when making a slower tight turn or braking very hard. Its in the front passenger side suspension.

 

mines i think the driver side

 

Would an end link cause this?

 

Endlinks.
Normal noise for lowered Z's.

 

so tighten them?
