I feel like its something to do with the sway bar end links, but that's just guessing from memory.

This is a common issue when your preload isnt set properly.

What are you using to tighten the spring perch and locking collar? If you are using the spanner wrenches it will come loose take a flat head screw driver put electrical tape on the end, grab a hammer and place the flat head in the grooves and tap til tight.

its the front suspension thats making the noise. lubing up the spring stops the noise for a bit.. but it's coming back again after the wd-40 evaporated.

Hey AJ

Do you have an answer to this issue? I have this same problem whenever I turn... I'm freaking out because I'm not sure what it is. I'll recheck my preload again. But I'm pretty sure it's set right. I'm on a ge8.
