Others with coilovers, help needed Options

[BrianGT4]

my left front strut is making a let of unhealthy noise. rattles & creaks mostly. I fitted the arospeed coilovers and the noise is only happening since then. I went back to the shop that fitted them but they couldnt look at it until during the week but said that it was probably caused by the coilover binding to the strut.

is there any way to fix this and has anyone else had this problem?

How high are the coilvers set?

Is it only when you turn the wheel, or when?

If the coilovers are set high, the spring is already partially compressed, and when it is further compressed it binds and makes a groaning sort of sound.

it occours mostly at slower speeds or when turning left. going straight it happens depending on the road. turning right it never happens at all.

I've been told that these will sort it. Opinions?

I had the same problems with those same coilovers. the problem i had was that the little O rings they give you to put between things (to lessen noise) they get jammed into places that you dont want them to get jammed and they just cause more problems. Make sure that the stock piece that lays between the top cap on the coilovers and the top of the shock tower isnt jammed. If not then simply lube EVERYTHING really well!!
