Why would it be coming from there? It's torqued down properly as far as that goes.

 

it may be the actual pillow ball joint, and not the nuts that hold it down.

 

As in defective?

 

it may or may not be defective. some pillow ***** are louder than others. if everything is torqued down properly, the next step would be to contact BC and see what they say, especially if none of us here can solve it.

 

Gotcha man. Thanks for all the help/advice. I hope my mech can figure it out today and if not I'll give BC a call.

 

no worries. good luck.

 

Without reading every post in the thread.

I had the same basic coilover for testing, Megan Racing. I had the same exact noise issue.

It was one of the locking collars on the rear height adjustment system. Tighten every single locking collar. On the front dampers lock the spring collar and the collar that locks down the lower shock mount (where you adjust the damper length. On the rear lock down the collar on the spring seats and on the dampers above the lower shock mount (where you adjust the damper length).

If I'm wrong and should have read the entire thread, a big ole sorry from me to you (grin).

 

It's a good idea. We couldn't really figure out what was going on today. We put some rubber gaskets between the pillow ball mount and the top hat of the strut towers on the back, because it seemed that the mount only made contact with the metal of the mount at 2 areas and the rest didn't, possibly causing the noise during stress.

The locking collars you are talking about are the rotating things to adjust stuff, right? How would these be making noise exactly?

 

A little off topic but Im lowered on tein s-tech's only and I have the clunking noise every time I go over a bump as well. Its more of a click to me though.

 

Yeah... it's a clunk/tap/pop... not sure what the correct word to describe it is. The Mech checked it out and there is no sign of damage, but he noticed only minimal consistent contact on the pillow ball mount of the strut, possibly causing more noise when under stress of a bump.

 

I'm experiencing the same noise as you. I have Megan Racing coils.

 

hei guys since, the OP has bc racing coils like i do, just a quick question, i know u dont mess with the preload in the front, but could lowering it as in brinign the ring down a few give me a better RIDE quality? just wondering
