Hey Guys I just installed kybs and tein lowering springs and all I`m getting is alot of creeking from the springs rubbing together near the bottom. I could see the wear where it is rubbing. I only hear the noise in slow speeds and going over bumps I could hear the springs rubbing and hitting itself. What can I do to fix this? The bump stops are at the top of the spring and cannot be moved adleast I don`t think. Give me some help guys I do not know what could do to fix it....maybe buy vinyl and melt it on to spring to stop or reduce the noise? I tried researching this and haven`t really found any solutions. Thanks guys

Thanks guys i had the same setup once and i didnt really have that issue i only had the issue of the front shocks bottoming out whenever i when over a heavy pothole, my solution was to remove them and get "COILOVERS" BC Black and gold edition, had them on for like 2 years (Knock on wood) no issues. |
