Hi All
I have recently had the same problem. However my car only started making the exact same noises described, when I installed ISC coilovers. These worked perfectly for the first...lets say 2000 km of use, then gradually started making the noises described, getting louder and louder each month. eventually the noises were so pronounced, not even loud music could solve it
. Anyways, I was running the maximum camber setting on the camber bolts, and adjustable top strut housings. I'm thinking maybe this had something to do with it. I mainly occurs while steering left and right at a standstill and at low speed. (maybe I'm maxing out the angle of the lower ball joint on the lower control arm). Could this be the problem? However I tried changing the camber setting to it's neutral position (But not the camber bolt) and the same noise kept occurring.
Anyways, last week Sunday, i decided to replace the coilovers with the standard suspension. And the problem was fixed, no noise, no creaking, no clicking, no clonking.
I know now that it has to do with the coilovers so that leads me to a couple other culprits.
1) The link arm that connects the torsion bar to the coilover. (BTW the part of the link arm that connects to the coilover was rubbing against the body and left an engraving into the inner wheel well due to negative 3 degree camber). But I tried reducing camber with no avail.
2) The lower ball joint on the wheel knuckle connecting the lower control arm, is maxing out under +- 3 degree negative camber.???? Not sure if this is possible.
3) literally anything else to do with the aftermarket ISC coilovers
Anyone experience this issue??
