Title: function and form coils Clunking noise ?????
Post by: paulonfiya on January 29, 2012, 02:41:22 AM
I just installed the coilovers 2 months and the suspensions are making a clunking noise like the coilovers are blown and bottoming out but the ride is not bouncy. I haven't touched the preload at all. And I'm not even dropped that much.

When you're posting that late at night, you really shouldn't expect to get a response in less than 10 minutes.  Be patient and people will try and help.  It's also a good idea to try and provide as much information as possible.

Where is the noise coming from?  Front, rear, all four corners?  What have you checked since you started hearing the noise?

Alex, that only happens when you're dumped or have the Ingalls front camber kit.  From the pictures he's posted of his car, it doesn't seem that he's so low that it would cause his upper front ball joint to hit the shock tower.  Anyway, he was vague about the details, so it's hard to assume what the problem is.  It could be as simple as a nut that wasn't torqued properly and worked itself loose.

That's your best bet.  Take it out, make sure the top hat is tight and then reinstall.  It may turn out that you may find some damage.

Not sure if this helps, but others are having similar problems with the HT-Spec Type coils (i.e. custom F&F):
