My car is making noise after I lowered it with S tech. When I am turning the steering wheel at a very slow speed like 20km/h - 30km/h. I will hear some "bling bling" noise. It kind of sound like you are hitting two metal stick against each other. Its not a very loud sound, but its noticeable. I brought it back to the body shop and they said its the sound of my break, cause I just changed new breaks. Do you guys think its my break that is causing this sound or the suspension?

 

I am on S techs too. But no "Bling Bling" sound from my ride.

 

ya i never had sound from my springs either

 

than do you guys think it will be my breaks?

 

i have s-techs but no weird sounds like that. Do you have aftermarket swaybars? if you do check you endlinks and make sure they are on tight.

 

Maybe it's your new rims that are going "bling bling"

 

papito....its BRAKES!!

 

Thank you guys, I will bring it in for service on monday and keep you guys updated. I hope is nothing major that will cost alot of money.

 

it is your parking brake, which is a drum type.

the cable is loose. you can confirm by driving with the brake slightly on. if it is the parking brake, than you wont hear the noise when you drive with it slightly tense.

the dealer needs to adjust it. (you can do it yourself as well, its in the FSM)

 

I had the same type of noise but it didnt happen when was turning, only when i hit bumps. It was the endlinks on the swaybars. Do it yourself, the part is only like 20 bucks or so.

 

rofl i have that issue too

 

If it is the parking brake why would driving with your foot on the brake make it go away? The parking brake is a drum-style inside the rear hat and has nothing to do with the disc brakes.

 

Make sure they used the rubber OEM spring isolaters. Without the isolaters, the coils of the springs will rattle against one another. On some aftermarket springs, you may need to add additional isolators due to additional "dead" coils. ANY metal to metal contact on the suspension will result in noise.

 

rofl,

cause the automatics have the parking brake where you sticks have your clutch. we step on our parking brake and you pull on it. c'mon ttrank

its rattling cause the parking brake line is loose and needs to be taught. you can temporarily fix the issue by slightly pressing (or pulling...for the MT's) the parking brake when you go over a bump. to fix it you need to adjust the line as outlined in the FSM

the M35/45 has this issue but on a more serious level. Nissan released a TSB and that is exactly what it outlines as a solution to the issue. The TSB fixed both my G's and M's issue.

 

I had the same problem on a civic. The shop that installed the springs didn't take the isolators off of the factory springs and put them on the aftermarket ones.
