I've just recently purchased the Largus coilovers NEW and installed them this past weekend. After the install i drove it around and noticed that the rear shocks/top hats sounds like they're loose. When ever the shock travels even on a semi smooth pavement is clunks a little(more noticeable over bumpy pavement). I've double checked all the nuts and bolts & everything is tighten down snug but the clunking sound is driving me crazy. Even now it still eludes me. The car doesn't drive around like it has blown rear struts either.

This is not my first time ever installing coilovers but it is my first time with an RL. I've just never dealt with 2 pc rear end before.

any info i would be greatly apprecaited.

 

any pics of the rear set up

 

I had the same issue and it was fixed by tightening the bolt under the dampening knob.

Try this:

Different coilovers, but same set up.

 

That's the rear setup. 2pc setup

 

I tried that thinking it was the same. No luck bro.

 

I had this same problem. If you are sure the struts are tight, double check that the nut that holds the threading is tight (I dont know how but mine came lose). Another problem I had was the stabalizer. Remember the Largus is made for the Legend and the suspension is not exactly the same. Mine didn't fit and I took it off after I heard it clanking around.

 

That's funny we have the same issue. I know my end links are good because there's no play(free handing them). Mang I'll be pretty disappointed if they were blown right out the box. My worn out OEM didn't even clank. They rode smooth but we're kind of bouncy at the same time.

 

My issue has been resolved. what I mentioned in my previous post is what my issue was. This coil is the best bang for buck. I hope you get it sorted.

 

I appreciate it and I hope I get this resolved. Bump for any more info from the sr's member.

 

Try swapping the stock suspension back in and see if it goes away.


Maybe your rear balljoints are toast?

 

i'll make sure to keep this in mind before i install my coilovers as well

 

Have you tried having someone help you replicate the noise while you try to track it down? Try jumping on the rear door sills and see if you can hear the noise.

 

 

How did you even...


I've never seen a post with no text. That usually gets filtered.

 

same..
very impressive...

 

where did you purchase the largus coil overs? Is your RL USDM? I heard the USDM RL and the Honda legend have different suspension? Any truth?

 

I would check all the bolts on the full bodies prior to install. I checked all mine and tighten all the bolts to make sure. I installed mine with no issues, but I don't drive it around much. No problems for me so far. It was hard to adjust the rear leaf springs with them installed onto the car. I literally had to use a hammer and driver to get the tightening links to maneuver.
