help with suspension problem
hello everyone im trying to diagnose a metal creaking problem after installing fortune auto coilovers. everything else is stock. currently 10k miles. 2017 brz
here is a video of the sound when it creaks im thinking its just the rear but i could be wrong. Here is my to do list to check this weekend: *check front and rear swaybar bushings (then white lithium grease it) *check any play on the springs *tighten the end links when the car is on ramps. *look into adjustable rear endlinks |

Have you checked the main 17mm strut nut that holds the spring to the shock? The top hat nut.
Sometimes new coils are only tightened a bit so they don’t come apart during shipping, but you really should make sure those nuts are tight once you have the full weight of the car on the suspension. |

Dang I know that feeling of needing a professional diagnosis as a last resort. In the meantime you could try jumping up and down on your door sill to get a better idea of where the noise is coming from. Try to listen if the noise is down low by the control arms or up high by the top hats.
