DIY: Stop your Racelands from clunking.

[SmoothEPs]

I recently purchased racelands and my "cartridge" will not screw out. Does anybody know if raceland has fixed this issue?

[Ep3 ked]

Ya I would like to know too im buying a set in a few weeks..

I did this MOD before I had it installed. I get coil bind up the ass, any ideas?

Same as others... when I simply turn the wheel left and right (moving or not moving) it will make/make springy noise.

I have checked all nuts/bolts/adjusting plates.. all good and tight..

[whatsvtec]

Was there any kind of locktite on the threat to begin with? If not, it might be a good idea for any new coilover owners to go ahead and do it before installing. I for one am going to check before installing.

Once I saw this it was the first thing I planned on doing once they got to my door :D

Sorry guys i just saw you have been blowing this up lol..pm me if you have a question, its the easiest way to get ahold of me. I have coil bind out the ass too btw lol. I plan on getting other coils this spring.

They do suggest the antisieze on their website when installing. So that makes sense, but the loctite on the reservoir of the shock should be done by the factory. I can't think of any coilover I have ever seen that was actually easy to open the reservoir. These open themselves.

antiseize on what parts of the coilovers?

how common is the coil bind? I'm looking at getting a set of these used soon...

I have racelands! You don't even have them!! Lol

By mine.

still have them?

I had a terrible clunking noise on my car, and bought racelands because I thought it was the struts, now I have a terrible clunking noise that was originally there, and my racelands make noise haha. I'm not sure what the problem is. . . they seem to be hit and miss with most folks.

Bumping this before I start a new thread.

I installed a set of Rokkors and my rears don't clunk they squeal/squeak. It sounds like the spring is too compressed or something. I'm NOT slammed at all. In fact, I had to really try hard to raise it up since I didn't have any spring compressors. Any help please? I plan on tearing into them on Monday so any tips would be awesome.

TIA.

Unless your car is up in the air, it will hard adjusting coilovers up or down. Make sure the springs are seated right, may need to put some rubber hosing or grease around the coil spring itself to where it makes contacts the spring perch/top hats
