I had Megain Racing Track Coilovers installed. Now only when I turn it makes crackling/squeeking/springing noise. If I turn left or right it makes the same noise. My tuner said the spring is turning on the tophat when the steering wheel turns. He said the coilovers need to be broken into and the sound will go away. Anyone out there have this issue after a coilover install?

 

bump, anyone?

 

The springs might have compressed. Try tightening the spring perches. If there is no plastic shim between the springs and the shims you may want to consider buying some.

WD40 helps too.

 

I've been searching and some people recommend removing the dampener adjustment nob. tighten the bolt above the shocks. I think the shocks are rotating a little bit when turning causing the springs to turn with them on the top hat. I'm going to do it today and will update the status.

 

fixed, tightened 17mm lock nut and 5mm hex shaft under the dampener adjust nobs. No more creaking!

 

i have the same set of coilovers... and mines make the same squeaking noise too.. can u take a pic of it and show which area u tighten that bolt at? i need to do mine too.. its getting annoying by hearing that thing squeak.
