Some probably read my thread where i put on v6 springs on i4. The result was auful and there was a clunking sound up front and sometimes in the back. this time i took it up to a mechanic to put on the correct i4 springs. When i got the car back the noise was worst and they said it was the control arm hitting the fender wall. At a gas station i called eibach support and he told me to check the front install and sure enough the guy didn't put the front shocks in correctly. When i took it back the mechanic broke one of my shocks in the process of fixing his mistake. the next day i got my car and the sound is still there but less noticable point:


After lowering the front of my car makes a clunking sound when taking corners. Can anyone tell me what it might be? Mechanic says its control arm while eibach is saying the springs aren't indexed correctly. Should I redo the install myself and index those springs more accurately.

Also when i was doing the install i stripped the lower bolt of the stabilizer link. I got it on fairly tight but its still not what it should be. Could this be the problem?

 

why pay someone to **** it up worse when you could've just done it yourself in the first place. does the drop look fairly even? i'm not too familiar with the 6th gen suspension but if you went kinda low it very well could be the control arms hitting the fender well.

 

Replace the stabalizer end link!

 

that is what i am leaning towards. I think the eibach anti-roll kit includes new links so that might be a good excuse to upgrade more components.


Nopi is supposed to pay for the "pro" install! I did do it myself but i had no time to do it again.
