hey guys,
I installed new version of f-sport spring on my rwd is350 for a about a week now... All three springs seem normal except for my front driver side.. I can hear a clank sound on bumpy road and stop bump.. It's sound like metal is hitting on metal..
So today.. I took everything off and re-assembly again to see if it goes away.. the clank noise still there..![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
Any suggestion????
should I get Tein Silencer?

I think you should be fine... the only time you here the clank sound is bump only.... I keep you update if I figure out something.... let me know if you have the same problem w/ your f-spring..

maybe it did not sit properly? When i installed my springs, I noticed they didnt seat in the same position as the oem, so I used a marker to keep track of the positions
had the f sport springs on my is 350 awd for 4 months and had no issue at all. And Baltimore roads are really bumpy

Just got my fsport springs professionally installed today and I too can hear a slight clunk noise in the front drivers side going over big bumps. Do you guys think this is a common problem with new version springs?

polo8, if you are going to spend that much why not get coilovers?
Also, the noise lately have been minimum... I had a mechanic friend of mine take a look and gave him the specs on the suspension and other stuff posted here online and he found few things loose. After that, only going BIG bumps I hear stuff...

Re-torque every single suspension bolt you see. I had clunking on my f-sport springs and for whatever reason after installing them, some bolts were loose (ones I didn't even touch).
Whatever the case is, just retorque everything and you'll be fine.
