Hi all,

I just noticed that the front springs on my Max were not installed the same way. Should the wider coils be at the top or bottom? I'm afraid that this flip-flop might be the reason for all the noise I'm hearing up front. Thanks.

I never even noticed one side is wider than the other....what springs do you have?

 

They're Maxspeed...I know they're kinda cheap, so I went ahead and ordered TEIN S-Techs last week.

 

And what kind of noises are you hearing and what are the conditions when you hear it??

 

It's a metal-to-metal sound, and it's primarily over bumps. There is a huge gap where the bottom of the spring and strut meet...the right-hand side is mounted just fine.

 

Jack up the front of your car, stick your hand behind the wheel and try to adjust the spring to make it fit the gap.

Does it seem to sit higher than the other side? My rear spring used to make a noise like....rubber on metal almost. (On every bump) - I did what I told you to do and I dont hear anything now. Try that

 

Get the Maxspeeds out of there. They are cheap springs, YGWYP4 I get a lot of guys in my shop that take them back out. They tend to rust alot too - junk. Thats what you get from a $100 set of springs.

 

Yeah, the Maxspeeds will be replaced as soon as the TEIN S-Techs that I ordered get here.
