Default Minor Sound coming from Tein Coilover

Just wanted to know if a clinging sound is normal with the Tein CS it seems every once in a while if i cut the wheel to the left or right I get a minor clinging noise, does this mean they weren't installed correctly or is this normal? its very minor sound and it happens ocassionaly

Tein's on most cars are known to be a little "noisy". Some cars it is more prevalent or obvious than others, but a lot of Tein kits I've installed and driven have had some small squeaks and noises. Just to be on the safe side I would go over it and make sure everything is snug and tight though.

did you have the car aligned? if so, make sure they tightened everything!

interesting, i had a set with the same problem and mechanics forgot to tighten everything during alignment. must be the upper ball joint...try lubing that and see if that eliminates the problem. as was said earlier this is probably normal unless there is something loose...you might want to consider getting an alignment too
