Hi all

I have a cheap set of partial threaded coilovers that I bought and have been sat in the shed, after hitting a pothole last week i was forced to install these as i cant afford new shocks. The car drives really nice and tight but having a slight issue.
when slow over something like gravel stone there's a bit of pinging sound from the front.
-They are currently on mhat i think is max hight as I don't want to go to low
-New top mounts on the front for thus install
-everything is tight as it should be.

Is there a way of knowing where max hight is, because if I keep winding the perch up it will unscrew off the top of the thread? Not sure if i have esentially got to max hight and then started squashing the spring, although it still looks ok, and i think its a consitant spring rather then progressive. There's no preload setting on these shocks as the hight is adjusted by the perch.

Any ideas? :D

 

Pinging sound?

 

Sounds like coil binding but apart from where the end of the spring sit flat no coils are near each other.

 

I’ve had a set that did this when turning.

check the rubber seat at top of spring, between spring and mount.

both sides make noise?
