Lowered 2001 GT Suspension IssueSuspension Kenny Brown Sub Frame Connectors Maximum Motorsports 4-Point K-Member Brace Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar with Aluminum Rod Maximum Motorsports Heavy Duty Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms Steeda Heavy Duty Adjustable Upper Control Arms MM Rear Adjustable Sway Bar Eibach Sportline Springs Bilstein HD front struts Bilstein HD rear shocks Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates Maximum Motorsports Urethane Pinion Snubber Front spring isolators Rear spring isolators Solid Steering Shaft Maximum Motorsports Aluminum Rack Bushings, center drilled Front Swaybar bushings The problem I'm having is coming from the front end. It doesn't happen all the time, and actually is more pronounced after I've driven for awhile. I'm getting a binding or cracking noise from the area right around the front springs. If I push down on the front end I can make it happen 7 ot of 10 times. What has me puzzled is it doesn't happen all the time. I'm pretty sure it's the springs but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. It's a really loud noise when it does occur. The car's alignment is arrow straight, it handles great and there's no apparent wheel shimmy or noticeable control issues. Any thoughts? |

My bushings were pretty well shot when I pulled them out. If the bushings were worn before the spring change, they might have disintegrated after the new springs were driven on. If you choose to take the bushings out (top and bottom), I have been told that the car will be lowered roughly a half inch. It will also transmit more road noise through the steering. Hope you find the problem, noises like that are annoying...
