This has been a problem that has been bugging me.
my left spring is moving in its position causing popping sounds when I turn at slow speeds(parking lots) around full lock or close to full. It also creaks when I go over big speed bumps. No sound when I am travelling at speed, only parking lots when I am turning the steering at very slow speeds. This happened after I got my car professionally lowered with Tein springs and KYB shocks. At first, the front shocks wasnt changed because i had the sports suspension(non superstrut). I thought it was the front shocks dying so I left it at that. Then I bought the Toyota shocks(whole strut assembly) and put it on with a friend of mine. Manufacturer torque specs were used but the noise was still there. When the car is jacked up, the spring on the noisy side can be turned using my hand while the quiet side is fine(does not move). Any ideas? |

not seated right, believe me, had the exact same problem, kept redoing it till the sound disappeared. i know bcus its when i turned full, it popped with a clunk sound. after u install the bad side again, and before you jack the car back down, make a friend turn the wheel, and look at the spring if it moves unnaturally, second, do a tug back and forth on it, so you know its tight, and that should do it.
