Greetings one and all,

Not long ago I had put in some Stance GR+ Coilovers in my fit to which I noticed not long afterward roughly 4 days or so I noticed a creaking/popping noise when I would turn my steering wheel to make turns at slower speeds like on the streets but when I make turns at higher speeds the noise isn't there. Not only has this been happening but last month two of my lugs on my driver side wheel popped, snapping the bolt itself off with the nut still attached during a turn in a parking garage. I had those replaced and so far no problem, that is until tonight when I noticed one lug from my passenger side front wheel is now missing along with the bolt as well which I'm certain happened while making a turn at an exit off of the freeway when a pop was heard that sounded like a decent sized rock hit my car but I checked and no rock.

I don't know if any of this has to do with my coilovers or not as I'm new to modding my fit. Any help or insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated.

 

The lug problem is because they're overtorqued. As for the creaking, check your sway bar endlinks to make sure they aren't hitting the inner fender when you turn. Alot of times they will do that if they aren't adjusted just right.

 

the creaking sounds like a loose bolt somewhere or that the springs have not completely settled down.

 

Thank you both, I've taken down these points in my notes and will bring them to my mechanic's attention. ^_^
