I just put on my Tein H-Tech lowering springs, and am having a slight issue with a clunking or binding noise when turning at very slow speeds. It does it when I turn both ways, and it sounds like it is in the pivoting top collar where it attaches to the car at the top of the wheel well. What is going on with this? Has this happened to anyone before? Will I need to change the top of the strut mount?

 

Check the plastic bearing at the top of the mount and make sure it's in good shape and isn't binding up on you..

 

I've been having this problem since I took off the camber plates....I checked out all of the uppe mount components (bearing, seat, etc) and they all looked fine. Just some light clunking when turning at VERY slow speeds (<5mph) or stopped. I've more or less given up on it - checked everything on the suspension and it looks fine and tight.

Hope you solve the problem so I will too

 

Yeah sounds like the upper strut bearing has dried up

 

dried up? Are you talking about the plastic/teflon piece or the rubber-filled bearing?

 

There is only one upper strut bearing? It has grease in it.

 

The bearing is fine. This problem blows. I can't figure it out.
