Default Tein super street noise

I am not happy with the coilovers . Both rear springs/shocks make noise then I hit little bumps. It reminds me of those door stoppers in my house. You guys know those (spring) door stoppers, when you hitting, that noise, sounds just like that. I have a 2001 GS430. Anyone else had this problem? Any help would be great.

New or used? Make sure everything is fastened down and installed correctly. I bought my Flex used, and I think the previous owner didn't retighten the top nut over long periods of time. They will sometimes loosen! Now the front right coilover makes rattling sounds when going over bumps. Try to fix your problem before it becomes permanent or expensive to fix!

I bought them brand new. I have had them for about six months. It has been rattling for 3 months. I did tighten the bolts, still rattling. I may have to take them off and inspect them. Thank you

cut your bumpstops. Aside from that, non-oem pillo mounts will make noise, and i don't care on my car. it's stiff as heck, the travel is super long, the mounts make noise and i couldn't be much happier.
