If I was messing with the wheels, lowering/raising the control arm and maybe using the springs for added leverage then I could see it, but just to go up and straight down..... seems weird to me. Those suckers should be under some pressure even when lifted so it shouldn't have shifted.

you'll find out soon enough!

Glad he's going to do it, I would have charged at least $120.00

 

Jeffie broke the mans car............lol jk

 

So my coilovers are on the way and they are my first. Is there something I chould know about raising the vehicle off the ground?

 

Nah... just jack it up like you would if it was stock... depending on your ride height you may want to buy a low profile jack.. Youll be fine i dont think blown coilovers happens to often.

 

Just know where the jacking points are. Check this thread out as well -> Suspension101

 

Alright, I have a little update. As I stated earlier in this thread: my coilovers (one of the rears) make the knocking sound but I don't believe they are blown like the OPs. I got in contact with Stance on Friday and the rep that I spoke with told me that it might be the pillowball mount and that their new design addresses the issue. He sent one out for me at no cost with the few additional parts I ordered. I'll be replacing it this weekend and will let everyone know if it solves the issue.

 

They told me i was gonna get a replacement shipped out last thursday and havnt heard from them since... ill wait till tomorrow to get a email if not im gonna call them up again..

 

op you ever hear anything?

 

yeah i received the replacement dampener for my rear.. installed it last Sunday and all noises are gone and works like a charm.. it only took Stance like a month to send it out... each time i called the sales rep told me he forgot to send it out.. but its all fixed now..

 

I called them today because I'm hearing a "knocking" noise from the rear. He told me check the nut on top of the shock and to set the ride height with rear spring and coil. Followed by matching the damper height to what the spring/coil was set to. If that doesn't work to call back.

 

take the coilover off then try to press down on it... mine wouldnt come back up unless i pulled it.. mine made a clunk on every single bump i hit.. was pretty loud.. sounded like a bolt was loose but was def blown...

 

I have the same problem right now. Jacked my car up for a oil change and put it in the garage for a couple of weeks. As soon as i took it out of the driveway the next time i drove it i got this weird rattle popping noise coming from the rear.
