Hey guys, on my front passenger side coil, i hear this soft grinding sound, sounds like something is loose or something is rubbing against it. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? I had these coils for only 3000 miles and had them professionally installed. Did my coils blow?

 

is the sound coming when you are driving? Were you driving straight or turning? Sounds like rubbing to me.

 

^Exactly, we need more details to internet-diagnois your noise issue.

 

yes while i am driving and it also applies to when i drive straight and turn either way. im not rubbing cause i had this set up for a few months, its whenever i hit a bump, its only on the passenger side though not on the driver side.

Fresh meadows

 

can you jack the car up and take a look to see if something is loose?

 

I read a lot in CL about BC making noise.

What are other people opinions about the noise? Is it normal for Coilover to make some noise?

 

i will jack it up and see and update. I just wanted to see if anyone else experienced similar noises.

 

SCWB,

I never had ANY noise with my coils on my awd. I honestly dont know whats going on. I am going to take carbondtls's advice and jack it up.

 

I know the noise you are talking about. I have the same problem, but no solution. I removed the coil from the car and compressed the shock body/cartilage to see if the shocks were bad. And they are still good. Reinstalled everything, and torqued to spec, but still have the noise. but I'm not worry.

 

did u get it after a few thousand miles?

 

Make sure the collar rings are TIGHT.

 

I installed my BC coilovers beginning of this year and after 10k miles, they are as quiet as can be. Double check everything to make sure nothing is loose.

 

How do you like them MrBBQ? Best decision of your life?
