So before i had some struts that began rattling like crazy after i threw on my trd lowering springs and i thought it was cause my struts were blown and not holding compression when i was going on bumps. I replaced it with some kyb excel g's and it still rattles. everything is tightened down and much as it can and its driving me crazy. anybody know whats wrong?

Rattling after replacing springs suggests springs were not properly aligned to the spring seat, spring seat insulators were not properly positioned/in usable condition, or that the strut mounts were not properly aligned to the strut when installed.
Get the car up in the air and work the suspension. If you can't get a lift, try putting one side up on a curb and bouncing that side. See what is actually rattling rather than throwing parts at it -- there's a lot of parts you could replace and it'll add up quickly if you replace the wrong ones. |
