I had lowered my tsx with Tanabe's DF210 for about 3 months and now when ever i go into a driveway and hit the curb, my car will have some "knock knock" sound from the rear (trunk) and my trunk is empty. It sounds like there're some metal things which rolls in the trunk. BUT when i go over curbs slowly (within 3km) it'll be normal without making any sound..
What do u guys think? Shoud i take it back to the dealer and check it? will the warrenty cover if they've to replace parts for my suspention since i put aftermarket springs? will there be problems with my bearing??
BTW : i hit a curb during corner 2 months ago.. dunno if it's related or not.

 

spare tire gear loose?

 

Probably the spare tire bolt is loose.

I don't think Acura's warranty will cover parts or problems that result from aftermarket parts not installed and warrantied by the dealer.



Is your wheel alignment off as a result from hitting the curb? Depending on how fast/hard you hit the curb I would have someone check the car out to make sure there are no unforseen problems.

 

searching for clunking w/ Eibach springs. its your spring that's make noise as it compresses and uncompresses a lot over bumps.

 

let me take everything out from the trunk this weekend and see if its still making sound when i go over bumps..

yeah i'll take my car to the dealership next week and check everything out..

i've heard that after u install after springs u should go do the alignment again.. is this true? i haven't do anythng except oil change after lowering..

 

Yes you do need to have an alignment after lowering. You should also have a camber kit installed on the rear to get the camber back in spec. I think Xizor is right about the springs making the noise.

 

i definitely needs a camber kit, my rear tires are wearing out really fast and un-evenly..
alignment will cost some Gz again.. -_-... where should i do it? is there any GOOD and cheap places?

 

You're on the east end right? Maybe JeffTSX can help you out.

If you're on the west end I know a really good shop. Cost me a little over $100 the last time I had one. Whatever you do, take it to a place that has computer controlled equipment. Manual alignments are not worth it.

 

i lives at north richmond hill...

 

Dan Martin, are u taking about alignment for a lil over 100 bucks? that's reallly cheap =)
where's the shop located?

 

Don't hold me to that price but I'm pretty sure it was somewhere between $100 and $125. It was a little over a year ago when I still had my VW.

The shop is called Oakville Tire Service Ltd & Auto Centre
905-847-6000
1050 South Service Road West,
Oakville, ON
L6L 5T7

Give them a shout and ask for a quote. If you decide to go with them, you'll need to book an appointment because they're pretty busy. I've had them do some other work in the past and they do a really excellent job. They're not the cheapest out there but I don't mind paying for quality service.

 

hey guys.... I got DF210 installed as well (right rear was -2.9 camber!!!)

i dono about over there
but recently i installed my camber kit and got it aligned @ OK tire...

alighn + adjust camber = 80 bucks tax in... they do good work (at least this location) all
