Noise after spring install

Chrisred · 05-25-2011, 04:43 PM

Installed eibach springs then after driving a couple of weeks I'm hearing a noise coming from front when going up speed bump/driveway on in bumpy parking lots. My mechanic says it's the stabilizer links. Now i gotta put back stock springs and dealer it. What u guys think??

Oh and I haven't done alignment yet (don't know if that matters). The noise sounds like metal vibrating....like sway bar

What does the noise sound like?

I had a squeeking coming from up front for a couple of weeks after I isntalled my performanance shocks and eibach springs, but it went away after 30 days or so. Get your car aligned then give it a couple more weeks and more importantly miles.

Why not take it back to the place that installed them?

Ya u could say it sounds like a squeak of some kind. I did take it back and we checked if everything was tight like swaybar etc. He says it's stabilizer links but told me not to worry as it's not dangerous. The car drives fine though.

I would check and make sure everything is torqued down properly.
