Tein Ss Problem

[2slow4u]

Ok i have Tein Super Street Coilovers and Ingalls Camber Kits .Now, when i get an alignment it doesnt hold it will lose and pull right instantly. Now when i bumps in the road i get a pop noise from the driver side mainly but it will occur from both sides. Finally the rear when i hit the smallest bump possible you can hear the noise of a strut not tighten down properly but its all tight. Someone help me out. Also the stock cam bolts wont seem to fit in the place of the Ingalls cam bolts.

You shouldn't need a camber kit unless you slammed it all the way down. You should also check you ride height to make sure its level or better yet corner weight them.

I just finished the install myself and you should not need the camber kit for these cars.

As for the front noise you hear, I do not have that noise but did you install the supplied plastic dust boot? I was advised not to install this as it will make a clicking noise and will eventually break and fall off. That may be your noise. I simply used my rubber dust boots from the stock rear suspension and placed them on the front TEIN struts and so far it is working without noise.

For the rear, I don't have a metal sound like you described, but I do hear an audible psssh of air when going over bumps. I emailed TEIN and they say that is normal depending on the application.

How did you tighten the main rod nut? Did you use an impact gun or something else? The instructions say to avoid an impact gun as it can cause internal damage to the nut inside. Hopefully you didn't do that. If you did not use the impact gun, I found it was a pain to tighten these nuts without the main rod spinning also. My brother held the metal washer with vise gribs while I tightened the nut. Maybe the nut is not tight enough and you have some play.

Also, make sure the metal washer in the back is facing upwards like a cereal bowl \_____/

You don't want it to be inverted like an upside down cereal bowl.

Hope this helps out some.

I'm very impressed with this suspension. I have it set on 5 and it feels like a stock MSP, only lower.

Ok i dont have the Plastic Dust boot on the Teins i already delt with that and removed them. When i tried to install the kit, the stock cam bolts (bolts that hold the bottom of the strut to the spindal) wouldnt fit through my Tiens so i had to wait and order cam bolts to hold it in place. the car is un level i need to fix that The back noise i'm not sure they are all tightened down as much as possible nothing moves.

I had the weird noises with the k sport kit for a while as well. I found that it was just the nut on top of the strut wasn't tight enough. It is kinda a btich to tighten, but not to bad. just a wrench and some vice grips.. I basically reinstalled them twice to try and get rid of it, and it was just the easiest thing to find... Just start with the basics and make sure everything is tight..
