View Full Version : Issue w/springs(Pro-kit)

So the springs have been installed for roughly 2 months, and the rear springs seem to be making an odd noise which I thought would go away once the springs were more worked in.

From what I can hear, it is only the rear ones. Whenever there is more pressure towards the rear springs(i.e. reversing down driveway and turning the wheel), they make the same sound as a noisy spring mattress(sorry can't describe it any better). Like, when you sit or lie on the bed and you can hear the springs compressing?

It concerns me just a bit because I have never heard this noise before(on a car). FYI, Jimmy at Street Performance did the install so I presume it wouldn't be a problem with the install as they seem to know what they are doing?

If anyone could help point out the potential issue that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

I'm having the EXACT same issue with my pro-kit...but I've had them for over a year and it just started making that noise a couple months ago. This seems to be a known issue with the pro-kit...I think it may have something to do with the struts...does anyone know why?

We may need new struts...

I think it's just the foot of the spring rubbing against the suspension arm. Some lube at the base of the spring should do it.

Take it back to Jimmy and have him check it out. Maybe the rubber sheet above the spring is loose.
