noise from rear neuspeed race spring

visconti · 02-14-2007, 07:57 AM

i got a sedan and i installed my neuspeed race spring a week ago, and after a while i realize there is a noise coming from the rear everytime i hit a moderate bump.. i looked down and find out that the springs is actually touching each other at the top.. so most likely the noise is coming from the springs touching when i hit a bump

is it normal for the top part of neuspeed race to touch each other like this??

I have Eibach's so I can't say about the Neuspeed. But, my best guess is you need to lube the rubber spring seats where the spring meets them. Just jack up the rear and let the suspension go to full drop, then spray the seat area real good with some white lithium grease. Your nosie will most likely go away. Mine made noise too & this fixed it.

If you want to go to extremes, pull the springs back out & wrap the ends with teflon tape.
