Hey.

I'm hoping someone can help me, especially if any of the folks who've had the TCKLINE coilovers installed.

I had the install done and then an alignment 2wks later. I noticed the steering wheel was drastically pulling to the right, i checked under my car and the endlink was grinding (see pic below). I had adjustable endlinks that I purchased just in case I needed and installed them. That seems to have fixed the grinding and pulling of the steering wheel. However they shouldn't have been grinding in the first place and I'm still having an issue with the car pulling to the right and I can't figure out why.

I had an alignment done from 2 different shops and still having the issue of pulling to the right when I let go of the wheel. It was tracking straight before I changed the suspension.

-I've check for caliper sticking
-swapped tires from left to right
-tire pressure
-Installed Brand new tires and had the alignment check again

I made a quick video with my iphone on the passenger side before the endlink swap:

Tks for reading.

First check if you have the struts on the correct side, they are left and right struts. Looks like you got them reversed. But if they are correctly mounted loosen the bolt that fastens the shock in the knuckle then twist/turn the strut towards the right and you will see the link moving further away from the half shaft where is grinding. For some reason TCKline Koni's don't have the metal notch for centering the strut into the knuckle because they where meant for non-X. The tab on the strut where the link attaches to need to be parallel with car.

At first I thought they maybe they were installed on the wrong side as well, but the endlink mount doesn't allow it to installed in correctly, you wouldn't be able attach the endlink to the back since the metal is bent and not flat. I will try and rotate the strut to see if that helps. I guess I will be going back and paying for a 3rd alignment.

I think they are because the flat need to be facing the inside of the wheel well and on your car they are just the opposite

I forgot to mention in the video, the passenger wheel is turned all the way to the right since I couldn't get my hand and phone underneath with the wheel straight. Here is a pic I took with the wheel off on the passenger side.
