Default What makes Tein CS coilovers make noise?

I've read in some of the posts that some people say their Tein CS coilovers make noise. Would someone please post what in the CS would make noise and where it comes from? Is this noise from the Tein upper mounts or is it from the shock itself?

I thought the CS upper mounts were very similar to stock mounts and don't make any noise unlike the Flex mounts that are solid and can make noise.

Any insight into this noise comming from the CS's would be appreciated. I've also read that some folks say their's don't make any noise. Go figure.

Hey - here's an idea: Please post and state if your Tein CS coils are silent or make noise. If it makes noise where is it coming from and how long has it been happening? Perhaps they start making noise when they are of a certain age. Let us all know.

Thanks,

Scott

Default Tein CS V2 Noise

I put mine on in September and they seemed quite for a while but then I noticed the left front making a noise (hard to describe, sounds like eeeek) as I would go slow over speed bumps or into raised driveways. I had it put on the lift and everything was tight. After a couple of months the sound up front seems to have gone away or at least quieted down but now I can hear it from both sided in the rear. I wish I kew what was causing it because it is very annoying.
