clanking sound after Eibach pro install - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

True, but like I said I'd be afraid I'd just blow them again, and if I'm gonna spend the money to get it installed on stock struts I might as well just spend that money on konis and do it myself lol.

Fair enough

I'm pretty cheap

Same here. But one thing I value more then my money is my time haha

Yep, I have a prokit and got a leaking rear driver side strut.
got lucky, my dealer replaced it for warranty even with aftermarket springs on.
I am in Australia by the way.

Wow that's some luck right there.

If the strut is blown you should be able to see some leaking fluid around the seals, but if the shaft loosened internally I doubt you'll see fluid at all.

I haven't noticed any fluid. Is there a way to fix it if its an internal thing?

wparsons · 07-09-2013, 11:28 AM

Not that I know of, you'd have to totally disassemble the strut and they're sealed units.

Bailey239 · 07-10-2013, 10:15 AM

oh, well looks like Konis are my next step. Does anyone know a cheaper place then here to get them? http://ft86speedfactory.com/suspensi...cks-struts-89/

wparsons · 07-10-2013, 11:23 AM

Under $600 for a full set of Koni's is a pretty good deal already.

Bailey239 · 07-10-2013, 11:42 AM

Oh allright. Yeah that was the best price I found. But they're stronger? I won't have I worry as much about spinning them when I'm installing them?

Sounds similar to loose endlink bolts, too. I had a similar sound and just needed to really tighten the front end link bolts.

The two that tighten to 114 lbs? How tight did you do yours?

getbent · 07-11-2013, 08:13 AM

You are referring to the lower strut body/bracket bolts. He is referring to the bolts that connect the strut to the swaybar.

If the swaybar endlink bolts aren't snugged, it will rattle, particularly around corners.
