So I am getting a loud clunking noise in the front of my car whenever the front coilovers seem to compress. I thought these were supposed to be one of the quieter setups around but I guess not. Is anyone else having this issue?

 

How many miles do you have on them?

 

maybe 2k miles.

 

Could be that the springs aren't seated correctly....creating a poping or clunking sound over bumps when they are compressed. Could also be bad spherical joints.

 

Give me a call when you get a chance.
The coilovers should not be clunking. 3 things off the top of my head are that your preload is not set correctly, The locking collars came loose or somehow the spring gasket is damaged.

Or something else on your car is making the noise.

You have to remember a coilover setup has many adjustable parts. The more adjustable parts the more chances for noise. We just have to isolate the noise

:thumbsup: for the service. Gotta love when vendors care about how they're perceived. Leads to better service and products

 

Thanks! Yeah that is EXACTLY why we are on here. We do not sell our coilovers direct but we are on here to provide our customer base with exceptional service and support

 

wow I really didn't expect to see you guys on here. Thanks for the response Terry. I will give you a call tomorrow.

 

did you ever get the problem resolved?

 

+1...what was making the noise and how did things get resolved?

 

Sorry for not updating this thread. It turned out I just had to tighten up the spring for it to properly seat and now it is perfect. I have about 11k miles on the coilovers with six autox events and they haven't made a single noise. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for an entry level coilover.

 

Hey Recmoto!! How many turn u actually did? I have about 2 inches left of thread. Im affraid to go higher and it still making noises.

 

Make sure your spring preload is snug to the point where you can spin the spring but can't move it up and down. It sounds like you are adjusting ride height to get rid of the noise but will not have an affect. I would call or email fortune auto directly and they will work with you. I bug Terry all the time and he is more than willing to sort out any issues you may be having.

 

ok! thanks for the input. I will try to call Fortune Auto as soon as I can.
