I had the bumped stop replaced in the TSB.

First thoughts were that it was completely gone. I could have sworn I heard it again, but the more i think about it I was just be being paranoid.

I haven't heard the POP noise for a long time, I think the TSB remedied it for me.

Does the dealer have to remove completly both front shocks?

BEN2729 · 11-05-2007, 12:42 PM

my dealer replaced both my front strut assemblys for the popping noise, mine is a 2007 2door which is out of vin range for the tsb but the pop noise is still there and is louder but the car handles better and turns faster than my origunals i took it back to the dealer and was told this is a product characteristic, only happens when car is on and turning wheel when car sits over 10 min and not moving then is fine when driving

i might try switching to eibach prokit, it might solve the problem, cuz i just got this problem after i put the teins stech. then if didnt resolved the problem i will take it to the dealer, i dont really like the feel of the teins stech anyway!

yeah they just replaced the bumpstop and associated hardware, all that happens is that the bumpstop binds up and dosent sit properly, my car wasnt in the vin range for the tsb but i told them i wanted it done and they did it and it worked
