RRM Springs, after install question
RRM Springs, after install question
I installed my RRM Springs this last weekend on my 2010 RA. They look awesome!
But I've noticed a single thump coming from the front, on each side (not at the same time). If I'm parked, I can turn my wheel all the way to the left and right before the end it will make a single thump noise on the left side. Then if I turn my wheel all the way to the right, it makes the noise on the right side.
I can feel it in the pedals also. When I'm driving and turning, I can feel it, but when I'm going straight and go over a bump, I can't feel it.
Any ideas or help?
Is this a bumpstop problem or something else?
Here is a pic of the final result...

hey bro,
i have the same kinda popping noise only when i turn my wheels all the way to each side left or right, i just installed the tein s tech spring on my car and i get like i popping sound usually when i have to turn the wheels all the way to one side and i only hear the sound in the front nothing in the back. from what i have noticed is sometimes the cap at the top of the strut might not have been lined up properly. so check to make sure the whole on the top cap above the spring and the whole on the bottom base where the spring sit are lined up. i know mine are cause i made sure to line them up but i still get the popping. i have noticed the more i drive the car the less i hear it so it could just be the settling of the springs cause they are just getting worked in. i'm not entirely sure but check the alignment of those two wholes if you haven't already and see if that helps. as for me i'm still searching for an answer or i'll stop if the popping sounds stop lol.

I forgot to update this one...
I spoke with a RRM guy and he suggested the same thing... that the spring wasn't seated properly.
I was going put my car on the lift again and check things out, but the day before I was supposed to do that, the noise stopped. I haven't heard it since. So I guess they fixed themselves.
I'm going for an alignment this weekend. I wanted the springs to settle a bit first.
Thanks for the help though!!
