Hi all, I'm riding on megan coilovers and whenever i hit a big enough bump in the road i feel a BANG sound like its slamming up against something somewhere on the body of the car.
It sounds like a shot gun just went off and its rather alarming and concerning to myself and passengers at times.
I'm getting worried bc every time it happens i feel like the cars gona break somewhere soon. Could it be my upper control arms or something?
I don't recall having this issue when i had my tein ss in my first 2gs.

Your advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

It eventually creates enough clearance for itself ; unless you hit new and bigger bumps/dips. But like others have said, cut it out.

i personally would leave it alone... the higher the UCA goes the mores the more stress the ball joint has to take.. right??


btw just do what i do.. if it bottoms out.. yell "GANGSTAAAA" n just keep driving... thats if i have ppl in the car

lol. What's wrong with people who dont ride low enough to know what were talking about? Someone should really tell them about the "Gangster" factor and all that.
