Hey everyone,
I just lowered my 94 GT HB, put some super cheap coilover springs. A couple problems I am having. 1. When I drive over a bump, it makes a loud slamming noise (I am NOT bottoming out). When my friend installed for me, I think he ripped out the bump stops, could this be the problem? 2. When I turn the wheel all the way to one side it will make a spring popping noise, same thing when I turn it back the opposite directions. I am guessing this problem will be fixed once I get allignment fixed. I do not think these problems are coming from the springs, as I know a couple other people who have these same springs and are not having these issues at all. A bouncy ride is fine with me, but a minor bump or pot hole sounds like a cherry bomb has gone off under the hood. FYI I do not know much about cars, just basics, so any input would be much appreciated. thanks =P This post has been edited by Snodalo: May 7, 2009 - 1:21 AM |

coil is not sitting firm nor installed right. bump stops are a necessary.
