im getting a noise fron my right front strut, has anyone had anything like this?

im gonna take the wheel off and check today, but if everything is tight then what could be the issue.

Ive checked the top bolts on the strut already.

what kind of noise..??? I also had noise in my suspension, sounded like rubber rubbing sound, but after 30 seconds it stopped.. springs need to settle on mine still.. but i hope that they wont squeek.

i am on my way to work right now, so my car will sit for 8 hours i will report at 11:30 pm and again tomorrow am.

i had no noise the first few days, but the last couple its like a squeek but it could be a loose bolt or something too... im not sure.

Jake the car looks great. I like the stencil on the intercooler, i also would like to do this when i upgrade. Guide me to what u used.

actually this could be pretty beneficial to see how much settling actually occurs after install. make sure you keep both printouts for comparison

there was a thread for this awhile back:

i fixed the noise.

The front pass strut was where it was coming from like i thought.

The top strut bolt(the one that holds the strut assembly together) was loose, like 4 good turns. Everything is great now

i dont think its a loose bolt... To me it sounds like some rubber is rubbing agaings something. may be its those rubber boots on the strut itself...

Not pictured here but the rubbber boots are over the gold strut part on oem strut to protect from any dirt rocks of getting in there and scratching it or worse.. May be thats what is squeeking... Since the struts sit more compressed now that rubber boot is rubbing againts something untill the engine bay warms up when it just bends easily and is not rubbing when engine is hot.




OR

I remember that there was a rubber sealing like on the oem springs.. ( on the bottom of the spring ) i took that off and placed it on the rrm springs.. may be thats rubbing againts the spring when cold..

thanks so does yours judging from the avatar

it was the top bolt, not the 3 little ones, but the actual assembly bolt.

Have someone hold the assembly and tighen it, see if its loose.

The sound is 100% gone, i spent 2 hours working it over on rough roads to make sure.

I get squeaks and rubbing type sounds in the morning, esp> if it rained the day/night before. Think its just road grim in the spring rubbing, since part of our springs now actually "sit" on top of each other.

don't know if RRM could do anything to fix, there is some plastic wireloom stuff you can put on your springs so they dont rest metal to metal but that would require re-installing them.
