ok i am fairly new to the communty and haven't adtruibute much to the forums. now i will install my brand new Ksport control pro coils next week and i read and there are alot of thread which state that , they experient with some squeak/clunking/ticking/tick after coilover install. and i just wanted to get advice from you guys to make sure which bolt i need to be torque really tight or / impact .

so far i will forsure tell my mechanic to tighten and impact the Tighten the nut on the top of your coil over.

Symptom: when the car be driven at a low speed over a bump, you hear a clunking noise from the rear of your car.

what else should i need to be tighten ,,please help and i search but there are thousand of thread about squeaking/clunking noise after coils installed.

things upon inspection from my mechanic ;

wheel bearing are perfect ( all four corner )
bushing from camber arm/compression rod is perfect no sign of stress
suspension seem to be solid .
sorry for the long read but im sure many of us here dont want the coilover to fall out while we driving lol. so please input

 

NOOOOO!!!

Just make sure that everything is torqued to spec.

 

Torque everything to spec.

And the clunking noise is the front A-arms hitting the inner fender.
Not FROM the coilovers itself.
Being lowered on the coilovers is what leads to the clunking.

There are mods to cut a hole into the frame so the A-arms doesn't hit anything.

 

no a arm worth installing will ever hit the inner fender

 

OP Fail. sell the coils. sell the car. go to school

/thread

 

Then why does the clunking happen?
And what's hitting what?

 

Op said clunking in REAR, over speed bumps, and you think front a-arms?

 

cheap bearings with crappy tolerances on coilovers not worth buying in the first place = noises that shouldn't be there

no proper a arm for the front should ever hit the inner fender. Any a arm that does isn't worth buying in the first place as it's a compromised design

 

there are clunking sounds in the REAR!!! WTF does that have to do with his front a arms?!?! read before posting Z1...

 

It wasn't Z1 who said A arms were clunking.
That was me
Must have skipped the important word 'rear' in the OP's post.

Now that everyone thinks i'm retarded...
I did have rear clunking in one of my coilovers because one of the shock collars wasn't completely tightened.
Thank god nothing else bad happened.

@Z1
I know it's pretty much off topic now... but...
I'm curious to know why people cut the whole in their frame when they claim it's to make room for the A-arms?

 

perhaps you should read all the posts, in order before commenting?

 

because they either 1. installed crappy a arms like SPC that are notorious for this issue or 2. they are literally dumped on the ground via airbags, and do whatever at all costs to achieve a certain rideheight

quality a arms worth installing (SPL, Cusco, Stillen) have no such fender clearance issues, even on significantly lowered cars. Now, if you want the car to scrape the ground, then that's another issue, but on a proper height car (24-25.5 inches from body to ground), clearance is not an issue with these arms. That's part of what makes them good arms in the first place

 

Nuff said.
Thanks for the wise words.
