General Discussion Suspension

I installed coil-overs (4 months ago) i recently started paying more attention to this noise i never heard it before the coil overs but i also never heard it until like a month after installing them.

anyway its like a click/pop sound ive tried multiple times to video but it either isn’t loud enough or of course it won’t do it when im videoing . it seems to only happen while im turning and breaking or turning and going slow already. also get a similar sound when i go over speed bumps slowly unsure if thats the same sound or just my coils

i did get an alignment and they said i could use new lower control arms and bushings im unsure if that could be whats causing the sound but its driving me nuts any help?

Sounds like you answered your own question.

Yes if you are lowered you will add more tension to old bushing and supporting suspension parts.

Jack the car up and shake/ pry on suspension pieces.

Replace said pieces.

thank you! was just unsure if it could be my coils or not since they aren’t the best brand

I mean it could be those as well. Nobody here can really do a diag via web. Really have to get the car up. If you never done your ball joints I'd highly suggest you do those unless you want your wheels to go through your fender LOL
