Ever since i installed my coilovers, i have been having binding issues. I bought the coilovers almost brand new with hardly a scratch on them. I've tried greasing the plate between the upper spring seat and the spring 3 times, but the noise comes back after a few days. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this as its getting really annoying.
Sounds like this, only when making turns at low speeds

 

this is what i found

 

Did you set them up with the correct amount of spring pre load?

 

Spring preload is a big factor. Lots of manufacturers tell you a certain overall spring height or go by mm of preload. Also pillow ball upper plates can assist. Usually that's not where the noise is coming from.

I know some like fortune auto make a bearing plate that goes between the spring and the too plate. Keeps everything moving fluidly.

 

hahahaha! Those coilovers are no better than what they're taking off, at least from a coil-bind perspective. They use the same OEM top hat.

As mentioned above, it's probably a preload issue.

Otherwise there should be a metal or plastic washer at the top and the bottom of the spring. If it's not allowing the spring to turn freely due to debris it can cause the binding.

The Fortune solution worked GREAT on my RA but I'm running their coils...
