welp...simple fix.
took everything apart, took the rubber cap off that covers where the strut comes in to the bodywork inside the trunk, tightened the top bolt, and voila...fixed.
gonna do the other three corners tomorrow just to be safe.
there's your fix, if anyone else has this problem...
nothing? no? nobody?
k...
i'mma go explore the nether-regions of my coilovers and see what i can deduce. hopefully i return with good news.
unless someone has an answer...(doubtful)...
i think i like the emotions better. not that i don't like the weds, because i'm digging the bronze / orange thing, and with the carbon fibre, s*** looks hot hot hot. that, and i'm a huge fan of your car.
but i could never get over that big blue band thats on all the weds wheels. it bothers me a...
ok...
jic-magic flt-a2's and i have the same problem. highly doubt its the washer trick, since the strut and strut body are never disassembled in this installation...both are entirely new.
any idea's?
secondly...
the coilovers don't have anything to do with knocking struts. it should be all in the assembly and never touched, from my understanding. this is coming from something else.
in the tokico troubles thread i read, it mentioned that one of the washers is concaved, and you have to have it the right way or it'll rub and make that tapping noise.
maybe there's dual troubles.
what a ******* weird issue...the washer is upside down, and it makes that much ******* noise?
retarded. looks like i'll be busy tomorrow then.
thanks everyone!
so i noticed that a couple days ago, a slight tapping or knocking is coming from my right rear. i thought maybe it was the jackstand hitting against the outside bodywork, but it wasn't.
so i'm wondering if possibly maybe i need to retighten all the upper strut bolts on my coilovers? maybe one...
seriously, this movie made me want to slam my testicles in a doorway.
in fact, i kinda wanted to complain and get my money back, but i have a feeling i would have been thrown out of the theatre for threatening people for even allowing this piece of crap to be shown.
umm...
this was easily one of the worst movies i've ever seen in my life. i don't know how you found it funny, but i actually and honestly left after about an hour of this crap.
spicey or protegemp52000...
want me to rip and encode that hoobustank cd for you? (note the different spelling. they changed their name to hoobAstank after people complained and couldn't pronounce it right.)
agreed.
the supersports are a lot nicer than the basic damper.
but then again, the flt-a2's are a lot nicer than the flt-a1's. ;)
its all about $$$. end of story.
