This winter, I changed my OEM coils springs on my VIII GSR for Swift sport coils spring. Everything was going well with my OEM springs, no noice at all.

When I switched my coils I immediatly did an enlignement and after this everytime I turned right it made a toc-toc-toc close to my right wheel.

So I removed the wheel to see if everything was ok and I wasn't able to find any trouble. So I lubrificated everywhere close to my coil spring and driving. I got the wheel back and there was no more toc-toc-toc when I turned right. After a week, the toc-toc-toc started again. I can't figure out what's going wrong. It only makes the noice when I turn right, I mean it doesn't make any noise when I turn left.

I thank about the cardan but it looked ok and it's weird that it would start immediatly when I install my new coils.

Can you guys help me? Is anybody ever got the same problem?

 

I sort of had the same issue when i had tein springs on the car. Mine didn't make the toc-toc-toc you are describing. It would make a pop sound. I figured out that the spring wasn't fully seated in the spring perch...I put a socket on the top shock nut and turned it..I could see the spring moving as well...i don't have the problem anymore cause i switched to coilovers...hopefully that helps some...good luck

 

Did it solve the problem?

 

yeah turning it got rid of the clunk sound that i had..

 

check to see if you did seat the coil in it place. noise can also come from the top mounting plate, if not tighten are install incorrectly or the bearing on the mount. noise my also come from your axle.

 

Make sure your fender liner is not in the way.. I had weird sounds when turning left and it didn't sound like scraping; still ended up being the fender liner.

 

sounds like a CV joint issue to me, i had the same thing happen to me on my rsx when i owned it years ago, drove perfectly fine but everytime i were to make a turn it would start making a tapping sound. check the CV joints see how they look.
