Shock Tower? Dry popping or cracking sound?
Hello,
I did a complete rebuild on my front suspension this past spring. I finally got to taker her on a test drive this past saturday and it drove beautiful, no probs to be found. On the drive to work yesterday, I noticed a real bad dry squeek or popping sound on the passenger side. When I got home, I central located it to the shock tower area. I unbolted the shock to make sure its not it, it sounds like a upper control arm, but they are new. So i tourqed the 2 bolts 100 ft lbs. They are ok. Someone told me that it is most likely my new 620 coil springs that I put in. Has anyone ever had this experience after installing new springs. The popping sound can be made while driving or turning, and while sitting and shaking the front of the car. It still feels like in the shock tower, but I guess it could be where the spring sits in the spring perch! The driver side doesnt do this. Its fine, I checked and double checked, pulled all cotter pins at all steering joints, ball joints and retourqed them to make sure, I couldnt find nothing out of place or loose. Help, anyone have any advice or experienced this simalar problem? Thanks Larry of Mason, Ohio God Bless America! Support our Troops! |
