Sportlines making noise.

Everytime I turn the wheel you can hear a popping noise coming from the suspension, Ive had sportlines on there for like 4 months now.

cv axles going out probably, usually what it is when you hear that sound on a front or all wheel drive car. some say that springs put more stress on them because it puts them at an angle.

its not cv joints. the clicking happens when you're turning.. but you dont have to be moving. car can be stationary and you turn the wheel and it clicks.

mine did it the day of the install. and the car only has 1000 miles. cv joints cant be gone..

at least in my case.

might want to make sure u installed them the right direction. if im not mistaken, the "sportline" logo on the side of the spring has to face outward

i left mine on, and i just get a little creeking every now and then. i've only had them installed for about 2 or 3 weeks, so they're still settling.

i've had my sportlines on for about 6 months and just recently i've been getting a popping noise from the front suspension. I'm guesssing my struts are shot.

I took retightend everything last night and checked the struts which don't appear to be leaking so i'm guessing my struts have to be shot or in the process.
