I'm sure many of you are suffering from the rattle noises in the rear - Tein Coilovers. I know this is really annoying as I have it on my 04 coupe & I can't stand it anymore. And it gets worse when the weather is colder or wet.

I found this link & I'm curious if this would work to eliminate the noise. I know the link illustrates the front suspension, however I'm under the impression we could apply the same principle to the rear strut.

Your thoughts? Or has anyone tried this with success...NO NOISES!

Thanks!

 

they rattle? I just installed my basics and didn't hear anything...

 

I heard newer versions have been improved with no more squeaks, rattles etc. If yours is absolutley quiet, consider yourself lucky!

 

Basics reuse the oem upper mounts front and rear.

When Tein did a running change on the Flex coilover and upped the spring rates from 10Kg/10Kg to 12Kg/12Kg they switched the upper mounts to the same one's that they use for the CS coilover system in a effort to kill off known noise issues. Their was a harmonic resonance (tech's words not mine) that was occuring between the rear shocks valving system and the car's body structure. The CS mount system was supposed to have solved this.

Another solution to try is to install the oem upper shock mounts in the rear in place of the Tein upper mounts.

 

Thanks for tip. I'm going to look into the box of my old suspension, you might have the right solution.

I actually have the Tein CS version and it has rattled from day one! Do you know what changes they have made to the new type CS version?

I purchased mine about 1 1/2 ago.
