H&R coilover problem.. Please help :-)

e92ben · 11-07-2011, 05:48 PM

I had one side of the car in the air for 2 days without a wheel on it while I was replacing tpms sensor... (rear drive side) now I got the wheel back on and when I go over bumps or driveaway dips I hear a creak noise on that side when the shock compresses or depresses... Does anyone have any idea what it could be, I don\'t think (and I hope not) its blown on that side because everything looks and performs like normal...

Yeah it was in the air hanging with no wheel for a couple days...

It may be your spring settling. if its a clunking sound I would say your shock is bad but you say "creaking" so that's an obvious sign it's spring OR bushing related.

Give it a couple days to re-situate.
