Have to recheck and if needed retorque some of my suspension components. Need someone that has 2 ramps and a torque wrench with appropriate sockets, would like to do this today if possible, will only take me 30 minutes at most.

PM me if you can help out, I am in NE Philadelphia and ill come to you. Don't need help, just the equiptment.

TIA!

your actually going to check the torque spec on your suspension stuff?

Just give it a good nudge, if it turns, do it again.

If it doesn't... next bolt.

I need to get under the car for that with the weight of it on the suspension, I cant do that without ramps or one of these.

The probability of someone having the former is more likely.

I have ramps, but I'm heading out to the JSC Meet after work...if you want I can let you borrow them in the evening and I have a dial type torque wrench you can use..

CleanNeon98 · 10-07-2008, 04:03 PM

OK so we just re-checked everything. All is torqued down fine, and the noise is still here.

Its like a spring pop sound coming from the right rear, dont know why but I'm still trying to figure it out. Matt said its just the spring breaking in possibly.

springs break in?

The tophat is flat, no seat for the spring...I might just take the whole corner apart tomorrow and re-check everything.

its means your car is gonna fall apart, but on a serious note, check the sway bar links and body mount bushings, no lie, they can be decieving

Disconnect the rear sway bar end links and see if the noise disappears.

russiankid · 10-07-2008, 09:37 PM

I torqued everything down when we did the suspension. I agree with i like rice, disconnect the sway bar.

jdm free · 10-07-2008, 10:04 PM

Will try that tomorrow...if that doesnt help im gonna try to take off the lower black brace and see if that solves anything, might just be a bolt there that needs to be tightened.
