Just put on my prokit springs.... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I put on my springs this week and appears everything was done right but when I turn the wheel sometimes I get something similar to a binding or maybe more like a slight popping sound. It looks like they are all seated correctly and it handles great. I was thinking that it was just the springs beaking themselfs in. Does anyone have any idea what this sound is?

first off........did you put the spring cushions back on? if so, you might need a new one, unfortunately, these little bastards are like $60.

i get the same sound you're talking about when i turn sharply at low speeds, at the only corner the sound comes from is the corner with no spring cusion on it

As far as I know I put everything back on that was there before. I thought possible I overtightened the bolt that holds the shock to the cusion but if I did it wasn't by much so, I'm not sure what else it might be.

only sound i hear is metal to metal when i go over bumps from the absorber missing.
