I have a 4th gen with the teins on it and i am getting a loud pop/creak from the drivers side front wheel. Its almost like the spring is binding and pops back after the turn. When they were installed i noticed that the upper mount (where the upper spring mount meets the factory mount) there is a noticable (1/4") difference in the size of the metal hole in the mount and the plastic???? rotateable mount that sits in the factory mounts. The factory set up set perfectly in the hole and maybe this is why the springs pop??????




I can post pics if that question made no sense....... (but i have to take the coilovers off....)






Thanks,
Charles

 

Who installed the coilovers? I think I know which "gap" you are talking about. I have the Tein Basics installed on my 99 SE-L.

 

1st i did it.... then i had a local shop do it since i thought i did it wrong. They said it was correct and that coilovers are just noisy and i should get used to the pop and rough ride.
