Suspension sound..

[silver saloon]

Ive got a new sound coming from my suspension. Its a "springy" sound. Whenever i turn the wheel i hear what sounds like a spring being stretched, much like when you take a spring and stretch it as hard and far as you can...I hope this makes sense.. And for reference, this started happening after my coils went on last week.

Any ideas?

hmmm, I'm not an expert at all, I don't know much about noises or suspension, but I have several ideas in my head-
Maybe ball joints, and it's a coincidence that it's happening after the coilover install?

Maybe, somehow strut bearings?

Maybe something's wrong with the strut, and it's making noise as the rod goes in and out of the strut body?

[OptimusGlen]

sounds like coils binding. What kind of coilovers did you install??

[silver saloon]

FK coils

[Digital K]

sounds like you forgot a perch, or something. or biffed the install on the strut bearing.

[silver saloon]

okay, well. i didnt install them..c squared did so im gonna bring it to them and have them fix it...

[Die Frau]

yeah, sounds like a bearing went wrong.... is the wheel hard to turn, like you are fighting a spring?

[silver saloon]

No, the wheel isnt hard to turn..I just hear that sound when i do turn it...

Do i need to be more concerned? Im assuming its safe to drive...

[moacur]

It'll be fine. Drive it to the shop and have them overlook everything to make sure they did not forget something or did not forget to tighten something down. Probably just some easy fix

[silver saloon]

Okay, thanks Thats what im gonna do.

[silver saloon]

brought it to the shop and the sound is normal i guess..

[palmer]

I would get a second opinion.

Call the manufacturer and see if it's "normal"

[silver saloon]

yeah, thats a good idea..

[Hart]
