Megan's installed, clicking when turning?

06Fg2 · 03-18-2007, 08:49 PM

I just got my Megan coils installed on Friday and when turning the wheel, I get this like clicking noise. There is no rubbing, I checked, and Mike (Type X) also told me he was having the same issue. Anyone know what this could be? My guess is it is happening maybe because the springs just got installed, but I don't Fn know. Any help?

O, I also had an alignment done and my camber kit installed, but I don't think that matters.

Could be the springs not sitting right yet, my sportlines did that on my 03 Ex. It'll pass once they get settled.

I had this problem with K-sport coilovers on another car. The noise was coming from the upper bearing (is it pillow ball with the Megan?).

Try greasing it and see if the noise goes away.

yes i have the same noise sometimes out of my tein s-techs....im pretty sure its caused by the springs not sitting right

So am I good to assume that this "should" go away after some driving? Or should I take it back to the shop this week? How long should I wait?

megan coilovers had a problem with a bottoming out and then the rears did not sit the car low enough. New sets are corrected and fixed though

i thought i was the only one! im getting the same issue, too, right after i got an alignment the next day (have camber kits installed also). im going to have it checked and find out what it is. is the clicking coming from the driver-side wheel?

btw, are your brakes acting funny? im hearing and feeling metal vibrations during certain braking situations (ie, bumpy roads, speed bumps, hard braking).

Re torque the top bolt on the pillow mount. I had the same issue. The top bolt get loose sometimes. You may need to replace top bolt. The nylock may be stripped also.

strCIVIC · 03-19-2007, 05:21 AM

i don't think its that^^^ i made a thread about this creaking noise on the TEIN S-TECH and everybody had a problem with their drop springs.. i still have that creaking noise on the front springs..it's definitely the springs not engineered right.. you can jack up the car and twist the springs..the sound will go away but after a few miles..the noise will come back again.. not sure about the TEIN SS though..seems like people who have TEIN SS don't have any problem with theirs..

do you have the megan coilovers on your car? i dont think you know what our problem is. ive owned the tein s tech's prior to the megans, and the clicking sound is completely different.
