so I installed my coilovers on my car about 10 months ago or so.. had to work out the height or rubbing ..etc however i noticed recently when i brake HARD and the car's weight transfers to the front i get a loud but brief CREAK.. sounds like the springs on the coilovers creaking or a bushing going out.. i dunno.

the coilover is perfect tho, rides beautifully. I took the coilover apart and greased it all up under the pirch mount and that seemed to not make a difference.

I cannot figure out what it is and this is gonna piss me off in the summer when i can actually stop and have my SS lines on.

does anyone know what it may be? radius rod bushing or something? nothing looks worn really tho around there

everything gets creaky in the winter. My old tein basics made random noises too. See if it makes the noise in the summer.

i noticed it prior to the cold temps of the winter. i'm thinking spring isolators may fix it??? or it's gotta be a bushing.. that's all it could be i think..

but i just don't know where to point my finger

if it's happening when weight is transferring could it be motor mounts?

motor mounts are all mint and new. it's only from the drivers side wheel well. it completely sounds like a spring creak... a very brief one. only happens when the shock compresses and the weight is on the front end from braking. u can hear it makes the sound when compressing and a very little one the end it off when the spring expands again. ???


that's why it's gotta b a bushing or the frigging shock.

maybe i'll just buy some spring isolators and then if that doesn't fix it then look at bushings???

so i decided to switch the front coilovers around and what do u know NO MORE creak.. dunno how but that's just lovely.

i also greased up the sway bar bushings as they looked in need of some lube. and she's quiet now under any braking

i don't listen to my music loud. I still have really sharp hearing unlike most my friends who play their tunes loud.. I like things to be quiet and proper.

luckly it seems i have achieved that.
