hi so i just installed some tsw springs, koni yellows and h-sport RCA (rear control arms). my problem i am having is if i go over a bump of any sort big or small as soon as my rear tires go over i hear a clunking noise coming from what i think is the rear shocks, spring (sounds like they are hitting something). it sound like its coming from inside the wheel well. i can't figure out whats going on.

any help is greatly appreciated

 

Double check the torque on all of the bolts?

Sounds like it could be either the springs aren't seated right or the top nut on the upper mount isn't torqued all the way down. Did you install after market endlinks?

 

no end links i went back to re tighten the bolts with the in-pack wrench

 

did you pull the strut/spring assembly back out and double check the torque on the top nut?

 

what size is the right bit that i need to use to drill out the stock metal sleeve so it fits the koni yellows?

 

Damn, I don't remember off the top of my head, I will see if I can find it online somewhere, but if not, I should still have the directions in the Koni box in my garage, I'll try to check tonight.

But the actual sleeve should be included with the Koni's. The only thing you shoud have to drill if is the upper mount hole and the washer...

 

i got them used and it wasnt included so i am just going to drill the old one out

 

Check your rear swaybar busings. Mine are a bit sloppy and i get that kind of noise.

 

so i found out yesterday what the clunking noise was. it was the tops of the piston hitting the inside of the wheel well. what could i do to fix this?

 

Im not tracking here... the top of what piston?

 

I'm having the same issue with my Hr,s coilovers.

 

U mean the center nut. Hitting the frame. Inside the wheel well.? Wonder if thats what is hitting mine.

 

yes thats what i meant

i found out that i added two washers on to the circlip and tighten the top bolt down it will hold the rod in place just need to do a little tweaking tomorrow to put the last nail in to the casket and be done with this mess. on the good hand i know how to take the rear suspension out as quick as possible and but it back together in no time

 

sounds like i will be doin the same thing this weekend ...

 

That wasn't the deal with mine , took out the coilovers and loosed the nut. Still.makes the noise grrr
