[RESOLVED] Creaking from rear coilovers?
« on: 03 March 2010, 20:26 »
Hi Guys,
I fitted my coilovers the other week. Everything seems to be fine apart from I get a creaking on the back 2 shocks.
Due to how sound seems to travel through the springs and the body of the car, I cant seem to find which part is causing the creaking noise.

Anyone got any ideas??

Ta


Will

its the black plate separating the main and the helper spring. Spray some WD40 and it shall be gone, will be back soon though, I had to respray every so often.

give the entire spring and shock a spray in WD40 then, seek if it helps.

Mine creaked, I used spray grease but wd40 should do the same trick.
