hi everybody! i'm running into problems finally! please help

I was lowered on some Koni coilovers for a few months, until it was taken off and put back on to my H&R spring setups. after the installation, i immediately hear weird cracking/squeeling noises from the front end. it happens only when i have my wheel turning right. both me and passengers can feel vibration in the car and it's quite significant when i'm turning right and having the suspension loadup (over curb or bumps).

i'm not suspecting the suspension unit be the cause of it, i did take it back out and reassemble the whole unit and put it back in. and it doesn't really make any noises under load with no turning to the right direction.

could it be the CV joint (please don't let it be!)?
or sway bars?
any idea guys? thanks in advance!

 

I had Eibach lowering springs on my '05 'S', and also experienced a squealing with the wheel turned to the right. It turned out that in the left wheel well, on the inside wall, there is a drain tube that runs down and is covered in whatever it is that coats that inside of the wells. The springs would rub against this, but once it had been rubbed down enough the squealing stopped. Could it be the same issue for you? You could pull the drivers side wheel off and have a look.

 

it's defintely not some small vibration as something rubbing against a drain tube. it's sth that vibrates through into the cabin and shake my wheel. and makes rather creepy sounds. i could take a look tho.

but vibration can be felt on the passenger side springs while turning the wheel to the right

please help guys?

 

I had some spring creak when backing out of my driveway with a slight turn. When getting my other vehicle serviced, I talked to Robb at BR Racing in Los Gatos, CA and he said to check the springs to see if they are seated correctly on the bottom and top perches. For my set up, I have coilovers, and it turned out my bottom perch was a little loose. I tightened it up and sure enough, creaking noise gone. If in doubt, remove the whole right side strut assembly and reinstall. good luck.
