What will happen is the car will make a VERY loud and VERY nasty popping sound which is becoming very common, now. This happens during the following:

Hard shift from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd when I might get a little wheelspin. Happens EVERY TIME.

Letting off the gas after hard 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd acceleration. Happens intermittently.

When turning to the right or to the left at a fairly sharp rate (i.e. to take a 45 degree turn). Happens intermittently.

I'm going to get the car in the air and, once again, double check everything. It never popped when I turned until now, so that is a new symptom. The last time this started happening a couple of months ago I double checked everything and everything was nice and tight.

Any other ideas as to what this may be? I never had this problem until the Tein S-Tech's were installed on the car. The right and left side springs were matched with the right and left side strut towers and everything was bolted up and tightened down so that it was nice and secure.

At this point I just want this issue to go away. I'm afraid to get on the gas at all, anymore, for fear that this nasty-ass noise will scare me yet again.

Thanks in advance.

is it like a creaking noise..if so its the s-tech making noise...some how when i turn my car..it makes that noise also..the springs that's poping..i made a thread about the problem with the s-tech and some of the members have the same problem but they got used to it.. try turning the springs and flat it out.. s-tech sucks!!!even though i have it on my car..
