hey guys i been hearing this jingle/clunking noise on my front left side.(after i lowered my car) i done seachers. i did not use the wire warp casue some peeps on the org told me that i really didn't need it. i looked at the spring its sitting on thier right and i put some silcone and grease to see if it was the spring. but it still does it.
im thinking its a bad strut. or did i put the front springs up side down??? (don't remmeber how i put it in tho)what do u guys think??

 

bump!!

 

Don't attempt an install of suspension if you don't a) have experience, and b) watch what you are doing.

Did you put all the parts on correctly? Did you put them all back on at all?

There are may elements to the front suspension. Do a search for suspension diagrams...someone posted the pictures from Chiltons here of the exploded views of front/rear suspensions. Or get a Chilton's manual. Take it apart and start again.

Aftermarket springs are usually progressively wound so that they are tighter at the bottom than the top; this is how you tell, not by the name on the spring (if they have anything written on them), as some people think.

 

That's freakin hilarious!

 

I can't take credit. It's all Bill99GXE

 

first of all i work in a garage so i got all the tool/brains and i know i put it back together right!! and i frucking searched. u guys and your freaking searches wtf!! gesh if everyone searched their wounldn't be a forum like this casue everyone would be searching and no post/replies would be done! casuse all the frunking answers are search right! i learned alot from searches tho, but i didn't find a frucking answer. all u guys are babies. go searching up your a$$. and i still got no anwser if u got nothing to say thats nice then shut up!!!

 

Ya know, I could find the info you're looking for in less than 5 minutes. There's a huge writeup on suspension noises and how to fix them.

You make posts like that and neither I nor anyone else will bother to help you. Now methinks you're going to have to get up off your a$s and find it yoursef.

 

I luvs ya, man.

anyhoo, if said person is a mechanic, then said person shoudl have mentioned that said person "knew what they were doing." I don't work in a shop as of yet (though a local Nissan stealership did offer me a job), but I have done a lot of these installations, reinstallations, experiments, etc.

If the clanking is metal on metal you did something wrong, or you need to re-isolate the springs.

 

no freanking **** i printed that **** and thats not the noise i got. ok what didn't u understand casue find it in a seached u found it in 5 min lol really? lol i found that in the FAQ's in 1 min.??????? NOT THE NOSIE IM GETTING it doesn't even happen all the time just some times

 

it only happen at high speeds like 80mph 100mph its like almost some thing is rubing againts the tire and i can feel it on the gas pedal. the sound it almost like grrrrrr over small dips on the highway etc. and the other one in street speeds sounds like something lose over small bumps.
