:face:Having my friend Freshbox fix my springs. I looked under my car again and discovered that my passenger rear spring isn't sitting right at all. It's about 1 inch or more off from sitting right. Weird thing is, when he put it in it was sitting right and somehow I guess when I was driving my spring went out of place some how? I'm having my friend redo all the work for free of course and making him recheck everything. I've been sick this past weekend and haven't had the time to work on my car and adjust the front sway bar. My friend heard the noise that was coming from up front and said it may be that my front springs may not be sitting right either so I'm going to check that when I get time too. Also the lowering spring I got came with new bumpstops and apparently the retainer washers from the stock ones are supposed to be reused but the mechanic said he didn't put the retainer washers on the new bumpstops, could that be a problem in the long run and may cause noise too? I may go buy new retaining washers tomorrow and hopefully they can come in by the time my friend fixes my car.


Thanks for all your help and input from the people who have been following my problems with my suspension such as Stu Gotti,KRDshark,Keith and so many more

No problem homie! We're all here to help each other! Glad I could provide some visuals for you... hopefully I will be able to have that shop manual available for everyone's use soon!

LoL yeah hopefully soon, well my friend told me I need to buy some reataining washer from the stock bump stops for the rear but didn't have time to and he is fixing it tomorrow
so hopefully he'll be able to get rid of most of the noise and then when I do order the part he'll put it in.

Maybe the spring settled then got shifted? dunno.

lol didn't get it fixed he had a emergency but thats cool, i ordered the bump stops omg 20 bucks a piece lol. Tried to reposition my front sway bar, but no luck on that and is it just me or when you lower the car, it takes you longer to jack up the car and it needs to jacked up way higher than before to get the tires off the ground? I did manage to lube the bar a little and the noise went down, maybe it is sitting right when it's on the ground but just looks funny when it's in the air idk. did get a chance to see if it was rubbing anything when I turned the wheel when it was on jack stands because it started to rain(crappy weather lol). BUt the noise doesn't seem as bad so hopefully I just need to do a really god job at lubing up the bar and nothing will make noise from the front end

Got it fixed. Sway bar still makes noise but the ride is much quieter than what it was:mro:

Yay! I bet you are happy. :DanseurRouge:

[strike69]

very much so lol the only reason i can't get the sway bar any quieter is because the nut for the top bolt broke off in the rear sub frame and i have no access to it but oh well long as i pass inspection
