Like a creaking noise? I have it also. i think it's the upper strut mount or where the front spring sits on the strut.

yeah a creaking noise....but how do we fix this???put grease where though???maybe yeah..over tightened something...cuz they used power tools when they installed my springs...but yeah i'll check the car tomm again...cuz when my car was on the car hoist and actually turn the steering wheel it didn't make that noise.. but i still want to know the exact place where the noise at..

if it's the creaking noise, yeah I got it too. At first I thought it was the engine mount so I took it to honda and after doing their thing determined that it was the suspension. Needless to say, they won't even touch my suspension since it's been modded by someone else. However, they did say that if I turned it back to stock then they can look at it. As for now, as long as nothing's broken I'm gonna leave it and just deal with the noise.

you know what you do...just loosen some screw up then try to rotate the spring slowly where they be sitted nicely... then tighten it on on the right spec... apply a grease on the top mount, just a little or ealse it will collect a sand/little stone....

i bet its the spring, it didn't sit right...

Mine does it too. Drives me ape sh!t. It's the spring and an incorrect install. Not seating correctly. Had it...at least they tried...to fix it once already...no go. Even put the stockers back on. That fixed it, but once the Tein springs went on, back to the creaking...sucks man.

reelbigfish241 · 12-19-2006, 10:52 AM

I'm thinking about getting some teins. Is this problem because of the springs, or the install?

fa1 · 12-19-2006, 04:06 PM

I would believe it to be the springs. I'm sure most aftermarket springs does it.

bizzybearfigiblue · 12-19-2006, 04:11 PM

my drivers side does this too....very annoying but it's been like that for sum months now.....i know if i put grease in it, it will go away b/c when it gets wet it stops making the noise, but i'm too lazy....

so it's definitely the springs then?? the guys that installed my Teins are the best over here and they've installed many springs, so I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the install.

which makes me ask, what's up with these Tein S-Tech's? everybody experiencing noises with theirs?? if it's just noise then that's fine, but I'm worried if it's anything else (read quality or manu. defects).

strCIVIC · 12-19-2006, 08:27 PM

if its really the spring...what's up with TEIN????i thought they tested the s-tech before producing thousands???DAMN TEINS!!!lol..really bothers me alot..

BATANG CITY JAIL · 12-19-2006, 09:19 PM

^^ as i said try to turn the spring around... or apply a little bit of grease..

Rocco · 12-20-2006, 11:10 PM

I had a noise like this on my EP3..i had aftermarket suspension put in right when i got it..during all 3 years of owning, it always made this clunking noise....i had it checked numerous times...nothing ever bad happened...guess it just comes with being lowered

freekaingjon · 12-21-2006, 12:33 AM

i remember a thread about springs a while back. i hear tiens springs makes that noise in the car so it's normal. our cars are pretty new so parts are not really perfected yet. i hear megan springs are have no problems now... but the drop isnt that low at all. there were some problems with it b4 but it's all fix. i hope teins will have their product fixed soon. btw.... how do u guys like your springs? besides the noise that is

you just gonna have to turn it not flip it... find the spot when the spring sits real good...
