Technical squeaky noise after fitting lowering springs?

[Dom130]

Fitted my lowering springs two days ago, everything went fine, car looks and handles awesome, but theres a f*cking annoying squeak you can here whilst sat on tick over. Its loud enough inside the car, and if you bend down to each front wheel you can here it. When your at a steady rev, its stops. It seems to be when the cars vibrating the harshist on tickover if anyone gets me. Like when you rev abit your steering wheel stops wobbling that little bit. Any ideas?

You had your tracking done?

 

[Dom130]

nope, what would be causing the noise if its that whats needs doing?

 

[Aircooledbug]

Doesnt matter, still need doing. Checked you link bars?

 

[Dom130]

I would if I knew what they were.

Its a bar about 12" along. Has bolt head each end.

Oky I lowered mine and I've notice two new noises. One creeking coming from the driverside front wing panel, and a funny clanky noise when I set off when ive been parked. could this be this that bar?

Cheers

maybe the mouse likes loud noises?

Clunking is most likely the exhaust catching rear beam.

maybe.. haha. No but seriously, I cannot be doing with this noise. Gona nip to a few garages in the morning and see if it can be pin pointed. Needs to be over a pit really.

Just to let others no incase it happens to them, the noise was caused by a large piece of rubber with pipes running through it, which is situated above the anti roll bar, above the bottom of the down pipe. The piece of rubber was supposed to be fastened upto the bodywork, but was sat resting on the anti roll bar squeaking its t*tties off.

So was it to do with the fact that you lowered it then? not trying to be cheeky, but i'm seriously looking at lowering mine soon hopefully!

 

[Aircooledbug]

Steve, what you waffling? Dont think about it... just do it! lol

Its at the front end round the wheel area. Maybe i'll check all the suspension bolts tomora..
Its not a hollow clunk more of a tension click clunck if you know what I mean. lol

 

[flint]

what is a really good idea is not to bother using a garage, or to get the tracking / geometry set up, and to then think hmmm thats sounds a bit off.......

 

[1steamon1]

You must be physic

 

[Dom130]

No it was nothing to do with the springs at all. Car looks and feels fantastic. Get the springs on!
