Noise after H&R Sport Spring Installation

luivincci · 07-19-2016, 12:45 AM

There is a very mild, but audible, clunking noise coming from the front when going over bumps.... is this normal? What can i do to get rid of it? I am on stock m sport shocks.

Did you install them yourself? It's possible there is just something that is not quite tight. I had the same problem and after digging around in there I found that one of the bolts on the end link was causing it. I literally turned it one turn until it was tight and the sound went away.

Check to make sure the springs are seated properly on both ends.

Had the same thing happen to me after shop installed my sport springs. Brought it back and they fixed it. Not seated right. No more sound. Scared the heck out of me though cause it was loud at certain speeds or over bumps.
