Odd noise after installing coilovers and endlinks
 
So I just finished installing the Perrin end links and Tein street basis Z coilovers. For some reason every time I the slightest bump there’s a bit of a thud and when turning tightly at speeds there’s a loud click sound almost. I feel like it might be coming from the end link hitting the lower control arm. The rears have been fine. Only installed endlinks on the front as well. Anyone who has either of these products came across these problems?

Yes, there is always a problem when people forget to re torque bolts after a few miles when everything settles.

Simple fix. Just re torque all the bolts you had to remove.
People always forget to read the coilover install manual fully.

I’ll try that tomorrow but it happened as soon as I got them installed and went on a test drive. Happened within the first quarter mile. Hopefully that’ll fix it tomorrow

No worries, you are not the first or the last that have the same exact problem after installing coilovers.

You'll just face palm yourself once you find that one bolt that wiggled its self loose.

I had horrible noises with my Perrin endlinks.

If tightening the bolts doesn’t help, my next step would be to put the stock endlinks back on and check for noises.

Same here. They are just noisy.

I had a set of Tein Flex Zs a few years ago. I had a similar noise as well. It ended up being from the top strut nut (21mm?). Just something else to check.
