Hey guys, so i installed my eibach kit last wkend, and got an alignment, all was great except everytime i turn left now, the spring is rubbing and clunking? yes i used the right ones on the front, checked the seating and it looks ok....but does it matter what front spring goes on which side, thanks a ton!

it shouldn't matter which side they are on. do you think maybe you forgot to put the brake or speedometer line back in place?

caverman · 04-21-2010, 12:25 PM

I would call Eibach.....let us know if you hear something.

I'm about to install some drop springs so things like this really concern me.

D Vegas · 04-21-2010, 12:26 PM

hmmm... everything tight on the strut assembly? is the spring seated correctly? check the strut cap maybe.

Hope you find out what the cause is. Have a couple hundred miles on mine now with no issues at all, except finding routes without speedbumps....

Good luck

Hi, I just installed the Eibach as well, and also have an additional "clunk"...strangely enough also sound like it ofn the left although not necessarily when turning. Did you fiind out what was causing your noise?

bluedevil02 · 05-10-2010, 12:12 PM

nah brother never figured it out...but the sound went away quite a bit..maybe just needed a lil break in i dunno...anywho i think its the crappy stock endlinks...so i ordered pfadt endlink front/rear and will be putting em on this wkend..

I just got my camaro back and have the same noise

The mechanic took it for a ride along with the service manager took it for a ride and assured me it will be okay? I'm hoping my noise will dissappear now?

Slef correcting noise

Please tell me about your noise.

When does it occur?
What does it sound like?
OE or aftermarket wheels?
Did you have it before you lowered?

It occurs everytime I turn left! It's a fairly loud noise! I have factory 19 inch rims and no noise before I lowered?

Is it a click or squeak? Is it front or rear?
