after eibach springs...

[angelsyb]

I got eibach spring before 3month.
BUT there is some noise when I will hear by turning the handle..
how do you solve a problem or noise?

[BlackSXDrew]

You don't..you just kinda get used to it..I've had my eibachs for 2 months now and it doesn't go away so I've kinda just gotten used to it..but yeah..it's annoying at times I know..but from reading previous threads on here on that subject it seems like that noise is normal for the eibachs and a few people have this issue..

I have the same creaking noise when turning left and right....gonna see if an alignment will resolve it. I'll report back.

I just did some more research and I may have a possible lead. Springs may be rubbing against the top of the tower if it's not seated properly, that or the bottom of the tower if there is no damper on the bottom end of the springs. Another possible issue maybe improperly torqued sway bar link... I'm gonna redo the whole thing next week and lube everything down. Will keep you guys updated. It sucks having a nice car but when you pull out everyone stops and stares cause your car sounds like it's dying.

If the springs are installed correctly & everything torqued to specs. A couple possibilities may be: worn strut bearings. Extra stress on front sway bar endlinks. Or, try Spring Silencers. Tein sells them & there like $5usd.

Thanks. Will look into it.

So I came across this image with a caption from a Eibach install on a Civic. Honda Civic Lower Housing Photo 19

I installed mine almost a week ago and it also makes popping noises when turning the wheel. I put the ends of the spring right up against the notch on the upper and lower housing. So could it be the spring compressing then pooping over the notch in the housing?

There is the issue of if the spring is mounted too close to the "hump" on the spring perch it can make noises..

(see photo #19)

Another forum says that greasing the tops and bottoms of the springs make the noises go away.

[DevilsX]

I greased mine and it didn't help. Driving in heavy rain for 3 days made the noise stop. But recently I had to lift my car up to do some work and somehow the noise came back. I'm thinking there's a seating issues with the springs. They have to be seated a certain way and not slide around or something. The noise seems to me like they're "slipping" in and out of the notch when the wheels are turning and compressing the spring, possibly dislocating it. I will speak to Kinetic about this and ask if there's a remedy.

[GraveSideTears]

That's what the first link was talking about. Where the notch is. It says to leave some space for movement.

[DevilsX]

I'll redo them when I have time and let you know.

thanks guys.

Guys its only need a rapper .

i bought a hose or tube from market then wear it the spring from button that's all .

I hope this will help u guys )

[DevilsX]

So damper/silencer helps? Hmm. Btw what he said is: Wrapping the bottom coil of the spring where it meets the lower housing.
