DIY: Stop your Racelands from clunking.

[ZoomBoy]

Essentially, when I am at a full stop and shift my steering wheel back and forth left to right I hear a popping/clunking (I can feel it on my feet). These are great coilovers but this one little thing bugs the heck out of me. It's loud enough that I'm sure people outside can hear it on my car as I make slow corner turns, etc.

Can't stand the clunking lately! I feel like buying a new set of coilovers in the spring and ditching these.. ugh.

Coil bind sounds like exactly what it is, a spring popping noise when you turn the wheel. i mainly had the noise over bumps, but i do still have a small amt of coilbind.

Do this fix it'll work! I had clunking,did this mod and all good. Thanks to the original poster.

mine has been clunking pretty bad. -__-

I tried this and for all the strength in me, I could not get those things loose, Im thinking the noise im hearing has something to d with the top hats some how, Im thinkin about either buying those solid bushing camber plates off ebay, or just holding off and getting new coilovers all together.

Exactly, these coils were great when I first got them but they've progressively been getting more annoying lately. I'm always explaining to people in my car what the clunking is. I think in the spring I'll buy a pair of Progress coils and sell these for cheap. They're great coilovers, but man the clunking is ANNOYING.

"As you see, this nut type thing (idk the correct name lol) is loose, see the gap in between, causing the strut cartridge to move all around, not secure."

i still dont get how you unscrew this?

Bump, i would like to know as well

what i did was put a sstrp wrench around it and gave a few hard wiggles and mine came off... did this diy and it fixed some of the clunking but not all of it still some minor ones... thanks for the diy.

so we just need to keep doing this everytime it starts to clunk again? no permanent solution? -___-

Solution: Sell racelands and purchase real coilovers.
