hello G35 owner's,

I recently installed the Tein CS coilovers on my 04 6MT, everything turned out great in terms of comfort and what I was looking for.

Now since the installation I've noticed a slight rattle sound (when going over certain bumps) in the rear, in particular the passenger side rear. I have no other mods and I'm running the stock 18's. It sounds as if something is loose, however my installer doubled checked and everything is secure. Is this type of sound normal? Is this just the spring? Have any of you experienced this?

I just want to be sure my suspension was installed properly.

Very much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

I had this same rattling sound on all the hondas and acuras I have lowered...I hated that sound...I was hoping that if I lowered the G35 it wouldn't make that sound but now I'm worried! Someone help this guy out!

 

i have a weird knocking sound in my rear passenger side too. i will be going to street image next weekend and have them take a look at it. i will let you know what they find.

 

This may help. Tein silencer rubber insulator?

 

In most cases you will find that the sway bars are making the noise.
I would double check all bolts and add a bit of w-40 to all mounts.

 

yeah i wouldve thought it was my sways, but i think i had the sound even before i had my hotckis installed.

 

I haven't upgraded the sway bars, only the coilover setup.

Alan - Let me know what you find out?

I will take another look, however others have told me Tein coilovers will make rattle sounds.

Thanks guys!

 

I have the CS as well and there is noise coming from the passenger side but, it is not a rattling noise. More like a creaking sound - sounds like panels shifting from side to side. It only occurs when I go slowly over bumps or when I drive onto a ramp. Is that what you're hearing?

 

I have the tein flex. A friend and I installed it and the rears were making a creaking sound. SO i had took it to a mechanic and the results where that something was installed the wrong way (cant remember what it was). So he had took them out and reinstalled them. After that there was no noise.

 

Actually the noise I'm hearing could pass for a creaking sound btwn panels too.

Does anyone know what might cause this noise during installation? Like I mentioned my installer double checked all and it looked good. If I bring it back I would like to give him something specific to refer too.

Thanks!

 

I have been eyeing the Tein CS for sometime now. What are the bushings made of on the CS, rubber, poly? Is it possible coming from these joints? I have had a couple coilover setups on my other cars, all H&R and haven't had any porblems.

 

just an update from me...something came up and i didnt make it to street image. i will head in hopefuly sometimes during the first week of November.
