ok so i love my springs

[tyscivicsi]

i love my tein springs i can have four pepole in my car and the ride is still just as good as stock if not better. but i have only one problem there is a poping is the passager side like when i turn left and it leans that way it pops or when i am sitting still and turn the stearing wheel any ideas? my car sounds sick:p and makes me wanta:'( but besides that i love it

I'm starting to have this problem too. The upper part of the strut needs lubrication.

[tyscivicsi]

hey guys any ideas of what this is is sucks and i am taking my car in to get a alingment tomorrow so PLEASE! i want to get rid of the poping befor i spend fifty bucks

I got the same problem with my Teins. It just need some greasing. Get some WD40 and spray on the spring, the top end. Keep spraying till it dips. Let it set in for 30 minutes, and do it again. That'll make the popping noise go bye bye till the grease is gone. Give it a try.

BTW, I like my Teins before, but not anymore. To many problems. My rear is sitting to low, I don't like it.

They do have a warranty, the only problem is that the Teins are not designed for the EP3. I e-mailed Tein when my springs were first installed and I received an e-mail back saying they were not designed for the EP3. So good luck in them holding to their warranty. Personally, I wish I would have just saved for a full coilover set from the beginning because my Teins are also giving me problems. Unfortunately, I'm a broke college student so the chances of me swapping out my Teins for something else in the near future is probably not going to happen.

now what are you guys talking about lubbing what part of the spring? the noise is really only on the left side and when i turn that way

[DeadMonkey]

Check to see if you've indexed everything correctly during reinstall, and make sure that you haven't overtorqued the front struts. Overtorquing the strut will compress the strut bearing and causes a popping noise when you turn the wheel because it will not allow the entire sturt and spring to turn in conjunction with each other. This happens a lot when you use airtools to torque down the front struts. Greasing it is just a bandaid, and won't take care of the actual problem.

[tyscivicsi]

well thats something new deadmonkey what bolts are you talking about im taking my car in at two and it would be nice to slove so are you talking about the top three bolts or the one on the top of the stut thanks for that info

[tyscivicsi]

could it also be under torqued maybe thanks

[Dunrick]

you will eventually not care about noises...

it took me a couple months...


i could care less how creaky my car is...but at first it would piss me off so bad.

[BlairSpeed]

so i guess im not getting Tein springs, h&r or Eibach or Neuspeed??? hmmm at least im down to 3 choices instead of 4! :)

[Civicvtec1ps]

I just don't care if i have squeek or not.
Audio takes care of it.
