What's up guys installed tanabe springs on my ix this past sat for some reason I hear like rattle clunky sounds I can be at idel it would come out of no where or driving ?

This started to happen only after I install my springs before that I didn't have anything like that I went under the car to see if I can hear it its not to loud but inside I can feel it by my feet and its loud

If I park the car and let say its making rattling sound as soon as I jack it up to go under it goes rattling goes away

I have rsr downpipe fujisubo catback
I don't see any in print of them hitting anything I took the brace off to and still rattling but only sometimes when I drive it would or sometimesim in idel

Can I have bad strut maybe its only coming from the front left side driver front when I did take the struts off I notice those black brackets were still on the car when the ship them over here for the car not to bounce

Anyone had this problem
Help

 

I did have some mild rattling after installing the Tanabes, but it subsided in about a week of driving...

IMO, assuming the car drives well, give it a week or two for the springs to settle... Hopefully it will have gone away by then. You need an alignment at that time as well.

 

its just probaley not in the pirtch right. jack up the car and twist the spring

 

I'm going to try that

 

Car does drive well but my friend helped me install these and he installed these before on 2 different ix but they had stock exhausts and nothing happening to there cars and I also had these on my 8

In idel it does it and some time this happens when I start the car or turn it off it sounds like I'm missing engine mount or something that way it sounds and like something really loose

 

Take it apart and inspect it. make sure top center bolt is tight on the shock. Also inspect your downpipe and see if its not touching anything, maybe thats what is making the noise.

 

Found the problem it was my downpipe rattling karboy hangers fixed the problem

 

Call Tanabe USA and ask for Reggie. tell him hiro sent you and hell help you out.

 

Id like to know how you make out myself ....im throwing a set of works springs on and there are some close clearance issues with the exhaust as of now......im thinking they might get worse with the springs installed

 

he found the problem. it was his downpipe. reply #7

 

see it was my downpipe but i dont understand how it didnt rattle at all before the spring install even though i did put kartboy hangers in it still rattles from time to time but alot less then with out them
