Hey guys, I'm getting major nasty clunking noises everytime I drive my sedan after I installed my coilovers. I had a clunking noise on the front left side, after I changed my tire. I use to have it on the front passenger side and I changed that tire as well. It seems as if the clunking noise traveled.

It sounds exactly like this
Any ideas? I'm lifting my car up tommarow to see if the bushing is worn out, or if my alignment is thrown off too much.

What exactly do I need to get a proper camber adjustment? Ive been reading bias reviews stating that I'll need a whole new arm, etc. I just need clarification.

 

what coils do you have?

 

that video sounds like the spring is creaking and has to do with a bushing.

rear camber arms are needed for the G, front A-arms.

just make sure everything is tighten. And dont forget we have own G35's that are prone to front compression rod noises.... they creaking and moan when worn out.... Either side and sometimes both.... well the bushing does... the noise is similiar to the video but in the video i'm almost willing to bet his spring is rubbing or something related to the spring.

 

I feel that the spring is rubbing, so I tried to raise up the car a bit. I have a set of MDU coilovers that came off a 350z. They were pretty good, and they aren't blown. I'm going to check the bushing, that was my first theory. My second theory is something may not be torqued down properly. The odds of that are very slim though.

 

I would double check the 3 nuts on the front spring mount. I didn't have those tightened down (had to use air to get them tight) and got major clunking after spring install.

 

I'm going to reinstall the coilovers, and see if anything goes wrong. I have a donut on one side of my car ( the front ) do you think the uneven tire size could be causing the annoying clunking noise? It happened recently after I changed my tires.

 

Just curious (sorry to bring this sucker back from the dead), but what was the resolution on this?

 

I accidently adjusted the preload wrong lol, I twisted the preload to lower the car rather then lower the actual coilover itself.

Update: Also, might be a symptom of a bad pillow ball bearing.
