Weird suspension noise

**AVERAGE** · 07-03-2007, 02:02 AM

Hey guys. I've been hearing this weird clunking noise when I start and stop sometimes. it started a couple of weeks after I installd the teins but its now become bothersome. I noticed that when I installed the teins that there were no spring grommets(rubber pieces,etc) for them to sit on. Dont know if thsi might be the problem of do I need to replace my top hats? :?

Are you using your stock struts/shocks? I was told that stock struts will blow if we installed aftermarket lowering springs on it...not sure though...let's start hearing from the experts... 8)

Thats the upper and lower spring seat, yes it should be there. If it isn't the spring itself may move or twist allowing for that kind of noise.

beat me too it! mine did the same thing on one side when i installed my GR2's on the front cuz i didnt pay attention and put the top one in on the bottom... but dont worry if you lost them cuz they are really cheap...
