I installed my -r swift sprints this weekend. I had a hell of a time getting the -r spring aligned on the strut and then getting the top perch on and aligned to get the strut top bolt on.

When I go over speed bumps, i hear a "metal" click sound. What do you guys think this is? If the spring needs to be re-aligned on the perches, how did you get it aligned properly. I tried to match up the swift spring to where the stock spring hit the top perch.

I have to lean on one side of the spring to get the top strut bolt through the spring perch.

 

Your springs are not sitting properly and you will have to redo it again. On the struts, there will be 2 or 3 hole on top and bottom and you will have to line it up. Does it make a noise when you turn?

 

I don't think it makes noises on turns, just bumps.

 

i think its normal.... wait a few hundred miles before u do anything.. they have to "set in"

 

If it doesn't make noise when you turn then you probably have to wait for the springs to settle in.

I will take a tire off and see if the holes lineup

 

Cool beans. Also double check the rubber sections that hold everything in. Notches from springs should be in them too.
