Hello everyone

Last summer i installed coilovers/sways/endlinks/camber on my 04 coupe with 88k miles. This summer im noticing some clicks and thuds that are starting to worry me. Instead of putting in more big money, i just want to do maintenace work and replace any/all parts of the suspension that maybe having some issues. One thing i know I'll be dong for sure is the fixing the rear axel click.

An issue that ive noticed that im not sure if anyone else has- when i start from stop, i hear a thud (from the front i think). it sounds almost like the car is moving forward but the front coil is lose in the slot so the bolt is hitting the back of the hole. then when i start to stop, i hear it again

Can anyone give me a list of things i should look into replacing? i know the first thing i'll need to do is regreas the bushings on my sways, but i am not sure where to go from there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

While your G is on the rack for the axle click make sure your endlinks are tight. For some reason my right front and rear have loosened or lost a bolt. I used LocTight red and tightened with an impact gun. They'll make a cracking/poping noise when loose, I check them at every oil change....Gary

 

I had it up on a lift and everything was tight except for the end links which were apparently straight up loose. Got them much tighter. when i get this up to fix the rear axle click ima hit em with some red.

thanks !!

 

Take a look at your front lower control arm bushings and ball joints next time you get a chance too. A lot of our cars are getting to the age where they're starting to go bad.

Good call on the end links too, noticed mine were loose last oil change as well.

 

had it at monroe mufflers - before you say anything ... this one , either the manager or owener (cant figure it out, but im assuming owner ) owned a 240, g35, then went up to like lexus and gtr and the guy that works on my car has a pretty nice 350z.

but he took a look and i asked to him check everything. tie rods, bushings, joints.. all good. cept the loose end links.

i can feel the difference too. i pulled out of the lot and was felt my car turning like it did when i first installed it all
