i got the teins s-tech illumina set up & i've recently noticed a noise that sounds & looks like the spring on the front driver side is turning whit the strut assembly when i cut hard left turns. i've checked all my nuts & bolts & everything is tight. im not sure what's going on here. i need some ideas.

i was also in an accident about a month ago in which i jumped a curb. i think that this may have some play into my problem also.

 

sounds like your strut bearing broke off and now when u turn your wheel the whole spring turns and grinds because the bearing is gone...

 

the strut bearing sits ontop of the strut.... its grey and black, looks like a doughnut and is made of plastic, nissan cheaped out and due to the extra force from lowering your car, they break off easily...

 

i know what ur talking about... that would make sense. thanks for the suggestion. i'll check it out today

 

TEED,
I am experiencing the same symptoms after my Koni and Tein install. Please post your findings if possible.

 

Sorry about the very late response but I finallly got some time to work on the suspension. The strut bearings were the culprit of my strange noises. They were cracked pretty bad. I bought new ones from the dealer for about $18 each & replaced them. my suspension is as good as new now!!! thanks for the help teddibear!
