Well after fighting with this noise for a month now, I finally figured this out.
The top of the coilover has no rubber gasket. So when you install them the
mount is metal to metal with the body of the car,so all noises get transfered into
the body hence a clunking noise. See below on how I cured this.

 

Please explain in detail the solution. The clunk from my right front coil over is driving me nuts. The pics are good, but an explanation would help. What is that black material you cut out and installed?

Thank you

 

I dont know what trpe you have but most of them do not dave a gasket between the body and strut mount.It is a metal to metal mount. There for I put a rubber gasket between the two parts. Look a my photos. It worked great. No more noise

 

Seems that the aftermarket parts industry, while some items are good,some are crappy, These parts are not sold to the consumer fully ready to be bolt on . R&D is ultimately lacking it's aka buyer beware. Reality bites Nice fix West. evo....

 

Thank you Mikey!!!

 

Back@cha My pal

 

Adjustable coilover suspension with pillowball mounts are not designed to be quiet. They are also not designed with street use in mind. They are ready to bolt on and do what they are designed to do. If you want a cushy quiet car, you bought the wrong one. Race cars make noise. Put race car parts on a car that's as close to a race-ready car as you can buy, and there will be noise. Nature of the beast.

 

Your retort while understandable,and narrow is incorrect.We're not talking race cars.The cars all us evo freaks own are street cars. The coil overs in question are Omnipower street setup. There is no reason they should clank, clunk or sqeak period. Omnipower,or any other manufacturer know that 75-95% of these set ups are for weekend racers (Street cars), not Tommy Mackinen racing a WRC event in Brazil.

 

These Omnipower coilovers DO NOT have pillow ball mounts. So they should not clunk.
I feel that there should have included a rubber gasket like the one I made.
Like my friend Evo - said these companys test there products in states like Florida
and California where the roads are smooth . Try the roads in NY.
More R&D instates like NY where the roads are Sh^%Y.........

 

Ah, I see. They're $750 a set. Sounds like you get what you pay for.

 

Funniest post ever.

 

That's a good one. I guess mommy & daddy hand you the mastercard, like the kook who spent 23k and waited 7 months for his car. Spoiled lil biotches you are. Let me know when you want to work for a living, you wouldn't last a day ..

 

I couldn't justify buying a car if I was only going to drive it 3000 miles a year

Great idea though!

 

Hmm, at 38? I think not. Try again?

 

I can: 5 cars 3000K per year sounds about right.
