I just recently installed Eibach sportline kit. I drove on it fine for 2-3 days. But now when I angle or hit minor to large hills fairly hard it pops in the wheel well. Also when I steer to a direction it will occasionally pop.

The noise sounds like popping generally and sometimes similar to a creek. It happens all the time when I angle to exit a driveway. I'm more than sure something damaged under there, it comes from the rear and front. And it only seemed to happen after I took a few hard hits on some potholes/hills.

Anyone kno what is causing this or how to fix it? It doesn't sound healthy one bit.

 

Do you have the Progress rear sway bar? If so the sway bar and springs might not be playing nice together and making some unusual noises.

 

No i don't Everything else is stock.

 

sounds similar to a problem that i had before, try tightening down the nuts holding your endlinks in place. they may have loosened a bit after driving around on them.

good choice with the sportlines, did you buy them from matt?

 

We have had instancies where the coil was not fully seated when all bolts tightened so when the coil compressed it 'popped' against the stop at the bottom of the shock. Cure of course is loosen the coil and make sure its twisted against the shock before buttoning up.
PS it can happen at the spring cap as well.

 

Yeah I bought them off Matt haha. I will check everything again under the car when I have time to jack it all up.

Thanks for the help guys, if you have anymore suggestions please let me know!

 

its your endlinks for sure same thing happened to mine just tighten them down. they may be stripped because youve been driving on them but you can just throw some washers on the bolt and get it tight as possible.

 

Hm I see, thanks. I have a feeling it may be that too. But also I hear an occasional pop/creek from the rear, not so bad as the front. Any idea what that may be since they dont have endlinks?

wait also how bad is having ur endlinks gone? cause i dont have time to really go in and add washers at the moment. i have to loosen the suspension right? just double checking.
