Noisy suspension

[bizarroxxx]

OK I tried Skunk2's with factory shocks, and had noise, so I went with tokico shocks and springs......still had noise. I pulled the fronts appart 3 times, greased every square inch heavily the last time....still have noise, what the f&*% is it?

My suspension pops like crazy up front. I think I need to change my strut mounts. The plastic bearings seemed a little effed up.

The back creaks quite a bit while corning too. I think that is probably just cause of the aftermarket suspension with the tight as hel strut bar?

no one else?

I have a popping/clunking noise that comes mainly from the front passenger side, and its only bad during hard cornering. I took my assymbly apart thinkin something was weird and not greased properly but that wasnt the case. I think its the springs making chatter cause the h&r's that i have dont have the upper rubber seals around the coils, so i ordered the spring silencers that tein makes and hopefully that does the trick. we will see next week. good luck.

My suspension pops too, and seems to be mostly from the front passenger side.
The springs will be replaced in about a week so while it's apart we may find something obvious.

when does it happen??? turns only??? bumps only??? etc...

might be your top hats if they're not lubed properly... could also be your tie rods...

i have that creeking noise also so I just bought tokico d-specs with eibach pro kit. my shocks were leaking to but i hope it stopped that noise

I had those, and as you turned the steering, the springs would pop as they settle into place. Unlike stock springs, that have a groove to fit in, the skunk2 springs can spin free. It doesn't really affect anything as far as I can tell, just noise, thump in the steering, bad geometry angles if lowered, wrong spring rates in the front, aside from that, they're perfect.

a little explanation to this..... as the spring compresses it veryyyy slowly slides around away from the metal flange on the bottom of the strut where its can go past, but it slides backwards in the opposite way.I'm on stock springs with stock struts and I've given up on trying to make my springs silent. Once the noise gets to the point where it pops every time i turn my steering wheel I simply jack the car up so the load is off the spring, grab the spring and twist it back in to place. This will get rid of the noise for about a month and its a a lot easier to do than taking everything apart. Once the noise comes back, repeat the process.

I have a question...
I also have a muffled rattle that seems to be coming from the passenger side. (stock springs) This happens mainly whenever I hit bumps of any size in the road. Which appears to be not that big a deal, but I also have a really loud rattle that's coming from what sounds like the center of my car whenever I hit some bumps. LIke metal on metal haha. I know it isn't much info, but would anyone know of a common possibilities with our car? Thanks for the help.
