Eibach pro kit with Tokico HP's

ydur · May 12th, 2008, 09:07 PM

Has anyone had any trouble when assembling the front struts with this set up? On the stockers the spring was tight and secure on the strut, but I had a bit of play when I assembled the tokicos and Eibachs. The spring seemed loose and moved.

Now I've had it all installed a month or so and I notice that they're pretty noisy up front. It's almost like a thunking noise when I go over any rough road. Any ideas? I replaced the upper strut mounts when upgrading and it's not a popping noise like I hear alot of people mention, but more of an all around thunking like everything's loose (which it's not b/c everything's been torqued to spec).

Anyone else experience this?

i had one of my tokico d-specs go bad very quickly. unfortunately the adjuster had rusted in place and i messed it up trying to get it to move after breaking the adjustment tool off in it. i put the stocker struts back on and had no more noise. i'll be ordering the front d-specs again as they are very good. i just happened to get a bad one.

I know I put them together properly. Kinda hard to mess that up.

I guess I'll have to rip it all apart this weekend and check it out.

at least it's a pretty simple job to do by yourself.

I have to take the tires off to put my new rims on anyway, so no biggie. Just hope I could find the problem and fix it
