Tein CS Clank
Ok, I know there have been a lot of threads about the Tein CS kit and the noises that it makes. I am getting a clanking noise out of my left rear. I have had the kit on about 2 months now. I am a little concerned that a kit that cost this much is making noises like it is. I am going to take the wheel off tom and take a gander and see if anything is loost. My question is, is anyone else experienceing a clanking noise?
Any input will be much appriciates.

Check out my thread here. I have a clank also on the front right side. There is a rubber piece that is at the top of the coilover under a nut and washer and on mine it totally disintegrated. The rubber shavings are still on top of the coilover. I have pics in the thread for you to look at. I talked to steve and gave him the pictures and he is talking to Tein to see what I need to do. If I need to send the coilover back in I will just buy a new coilover and send the damaged one in later. I hope all I need to do is replace the rubber piece and all will be good.
i suggest you go in the trunk and take out the lining and look at the rubber piece on the coilover and make sure that isnt the problem.
I only get the noise when I go over a bump or a pothole. Is that the same that you experience?

Ok, after a little inspection I found that the shop who installed my kit failed to torque down the top retaining nut on the strut rod. I find this to be absolutly rediculous. I am going to be at their door bright and early tom. morning to let them know about this. Since a simple task like this was not taken care of, I went throught the entire suspension and check and torque all bolts to specs. I mean seriously, how hard is it to read the instructions and torque down such an important nut.

PS: GS3300Rich, you might want to check your top nut. If this nut is loost, I can see how it could destroy the rubber bushing on top.

Thanks for the info Nick. I was wondering if that could be the culpret of my damage. When you torqued the nut down did you have to remove the edfc motor? I will hopefully hear about this rubber part and maybe I can order a new one. If that is the cause the shop that worked on this will definately be getting the repair bill

Nick, could you pm those numbers to me? Or post them here. My tein manual is in the boxes which is in storage right now. Maybe I can just call up tein and order directly from them.

Tein type cs upper mount bushing
I recently got that problem where my rubber bushing gave up. I emailed tein but it seems like they don’t even know the part number. I sent them pictures and all and nothing I got a lower bushing replacement something I didn’t need. If you do know the part number or anyone know where I can get the replacement bushing please send the link.

Jbanuelos, You probably just need to order a whole new upper mount for that coilover.
