Awesome! Thanks for the help.

 

If you are having noises after an install it's best to check that EVERYTHING is tight, sometimes a bolt or nut is loose, and not always on the coilover itself. Check sways, links, etc. Stuff gets moved and loosened during an isntall.

Also check preload, bottom and top bolts and the center nut on the coilover itself. All must be tight.

 

Thanks! For now i went to the shop that installed my coils and asked to lube the coils. Another problem came up that i did not notice.

When i make a U-turn as in turning my wheel ALL the way, one of the front sides makes a noise. My initial thought was rubbing but theres still space between my tires and fender. Do you guys think the problem can still be solved if i check if everything is tight?

 

Yup check everything.

Turning all the way could be the spring moving on it's perch, which isn't an issue.

 

Alright thanks CircutMS. I really appreciate the help I think ill try to break in the coils first maybe after 800 miles? Then ill try and fix it if i hear some strange noise.

 

I have had my BCR coilovers for over a year. The only time I had creaks and noises was when it was very cold outside (-10 degrees C). I have been told the fluid inside the shock changes with temperature and sometimes abnormal noises might be the cold temperature that can affect rubber components and what not.

99% of the time I don't have creaks or anything. Very satisfied with the BCRs for the money spent and driving on different roads.

But yes, as CircuitMS pointed out, check preload and make sure all bolts are tight. Incorrect preload will causes noises and lead to poor ride quality and shortening the life of the shocks.

 

Super low temps will also affect the bushings, which can make noise in freezing temps.

 

i have the same creaking problems. Makes my car feel ghetto. But i guess thats what comes with modding suspension. Maybe I'll check the preload when it gets warmer. Im afraid to mess anything up tho.

 

if you didnt mess with the 2 rings under the spring then the preload is fine. BCR sends them out already loaded.

 

its seems to be related to weather, I get it when its cold sometimes

 

It's most likely weather related, and not the coilover itself

BTW, preload will not change a damn thing. Everyone needs to stop going after preload whenever there is a problem. Preload is not a bad thing.

 

Yup it's the cold weather, mine make noice and only when it's cold.

 

My passenger rear always made some noise disregarding weather, but we got some cold temperatures this past week and it is creaking bad now. I don't know why all of the rest of the coil overs installed are dead quiet and only that one creaks.....any ideas? I tried cleaning everything up and it went away only to come back in a day
