on the NZE corolla, used it fine for a day or 2 then suddenly i'm hearing a squeaking noise coming from the back or the car. Any1 can help me with this? wut is causing this prob fellas?
progressive springs take a couple days to settle in properly and sometimes two or more coils can rub a bit when they're compressed and give u a squeaky noise or even a clangy noise....it may be necessary to slide a length of plastic/rubber tubing over that section of the spring to get rid of the noise....inspect the spring for signs of rubbing between the coils
These springs come with rubber tubing to take care of this. mine made similar noise for a couple of days but once settled the noise was no more. Leave as is, if you getting noise after a week or two then jack up the car and ensure that the rubber is there or that it was not shifted during install.
1. Are you sure that the springs are genuine ? - I bought a set from a tuner and just out of curiosity went unto the Tein website to match part numbers. The part number i had "did not exist". Hmmm.....Willing to give the tuner the benefit of the doubt - i did a google search. Lo and behold, this part number was deemed "counterfeit".
You darn well know i call back the tuner and get back my $$$ about 3 hours after the purchase. Me aint playing that na horse
Tein warns about counterfeit springs. They even have a page on it on their website. The part number for the corolla is SKL00-AUB00. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery but it is ok, we do not want imitation suspension parts on our cars.
Please tuners, do research before spending your money.
^ for everyday use, its like wat ever it would work, but if u corner to agressive with them they would bottom out.... for good cornering and lowering your car i would always recommend
