Postby sonny » August 28th, 2018, 3:07 pm

Hey Folks,

Usually happens when there is resistance to turning at the top mount bearing.

If it is the mount, it won't make any noise when unloaded on a jack stand. Most times anyway.

Sell those coilovers and put back the springs and shocks the car came with and solve the problem. If you want a low ride, buy a box cart. You fellas like trouble yea.
