coilover install now noises

[Big_Daddy]

i installed megan racing coilovers and i have 2 noises. one is coming from the passenger side front axle im assuming. i put the car on jackstands and ran it in first gear and found what seemed to be comming from the axle/tranny area a clunking noise. it is not touching the knuckle or body. the second is a spring noise coming from the driver front. when i turn the wheel to the left and bring it back straight i get a sound the spring on the coilover is moving. anybody have any suggestions? thanks

i dont know about the first noise but the second noise could be that the tire is making contact with the spring. check where the coilover bolts to the knuckle. loosen up both bolts and put something to pry the knuckle away from the coilover to get the most clearance for the tire. this was happening to a friend of mine.

i had the suspension done at rage-tek and he told me he did that already. any other suggestions?

[Ralphyc517]

check if the spring is tight on the perch or if its loose i guess...

LCA bushings....

you can also check to make sure that the top nut on the coilover is tight. its the nut that is in the engine bay under the damping adjustment knob.
