Front Suspension Clicks - Please help!
Howdy All,
I feel like I'm going insane because I cannot figure out for life the source of the clicking in my Front Left while: 1. Coming to a complete stop; 2. Making a turn/maneuvring into a parking spot at slow speeds. I was able to replicate the clicking noise while having the suspension loaded, and turning the wheel. Here's the full video: Timestamps: 1:30 - noise while turning; 2:25 - coming to a complete stop. Things I've done: 1. Retorqued everything that connects to a coilover to spec - nothing was loose; 2. Replaced old end-links with Whiteline; torqued all nuts & set the preload. 3. Readjusted the preload; 4. Drove around for a week, and retorqued everything again. A little background: 1. '13 FR-S with 115k miles, DD. 2. TEIN Flex Z coilovers installed @ 85,000. 3. Lowered ~1.5" Thank you, everyone, for your feedback! |

Update: The clicking issue has been resolved! I got a helper and had him turn the wheel while taking a closer look while under the car. The noise was coming from either the top of the sway bar link or the coilover itself. I disconnected the link and inspected the ball joints; everything seemed to be normal.
Upon further inspection, I found that the lock collar on the coilover wasn't torqued to spec. Per this article -> http://teinusa-blog.com/torque-your-dampers-pt-1/: Quote:
