put coilovers on --> have quiet roar in rear end ???

NiSmO_zt · #1 08-19-2005, 01:23 AM

so ive got my mr coilovers on today, adjusting them and such like 10 times to try to get the noise out of the rear end. its not too bad of sounding noise, but i cant pinpoint the problem. the car is lower than it was, but its way higher than monoxides car in the rear, i have about 1" between the top of tire and the fender, and in the front its about .5". it kind of sounds like scalloped tires you know "wong wong wong" increasing with speed, but it wasnt there before, and the camber is not very bad.

more air in the tires? keep raising the back up until the noise stops?
how do others go so low without problems?

im blue in teh face from taking my wheels off and adjusting my co's

everything is tight, no marks on tires, or half shafts from rubbing

thanx
peace

get an alignment

hmm, but i didnt think there was any adjustment in the rear end? camber is fixed and the rest of the linkages are solid... hm

how was your camber fixed?

NiSmO_zt · #6 08-19-2005, 11:33 PM

no, its not fixed, it is fixed meaning that it isnt adjustable, (fixed, unadjustable, etc)

oh.. ok.. make sure your tire pressure is normal (30-32 psi).. depending on the rims.. uhhh maybe something was bent during installation.. thats tough to say. if an alignment is completely out of the question then something must be caught, loose or bent.. or rubbing

can you tell if its both sides or just one side

i mean because if its just one side then somethign probably got messed up in the install

There are eccentric bolts for camber and toe on the rear end.

Messed up on the install? How in the hell could you do that? its a rear coilover the easiest thing ive ever done...

Dude, this guy came to me today and said he tried for 45 minutes to change the air filter in his Sonata and couldn't figure out how, so yes, someone ould mess up coilovers. :-P

If hes not dragging his rearend and the coilovers are still on odds are its right...
