Ok so i just had a set of Canuck Motorsport springs installed about 2 weeks ago, when i first got them back they drove fine no noise ,etc. The other day i whent and had an inspection done on my car and while driving it home i noticed noise coming from the passenger rear side, so i went into my trunk took everything out and made sure nothing lose was moving around making the noise. But yet their is still noise coming from that area im 90% sure its the spring. Could it be possible when i went to get the inspection done and they jacked up the car the spring came out of place? I have yet to go for an alignment also.

 

it's possible, but it shouldn't shift. when you get an alignment, just jump in the bay and check it out.

 

i just took a look at the spring it hits hitting against this piece towards the bottom of the spring , ill try and get a picture of it

 

sounds like it's not seated properly. should have nothing to do with jacking the car, as long as it's bolted in properly. those pics will be a big help though

 

ok i just took a few pics here they are

 

wow, looks like the spring is too large in diameter. thats weird.

 

Yeah, looks like a faulty design. I would send pictures to the manufacturer and request new springs.

 

is the top and bottom of the spring very snug against the bumpstop and base? it looks like it's not, and it almost looks like that's a front spring. can you take a pic of the very top and very bottom of the spring, showing how they are sitting on the bumpstop and base? if possible

yea, i think i can pretty confidently say that you have FRONT springs on the rear. unless it's just a really shitty design. or, whoever installed them did so backwards.

see how the coil is very loose against the bumpstop? that should be very snug. the bigger coils on top and bottom go in the front.

 

I agree it looks like the spings in the rear are the ones that are suppose to be on the struts. Did you do the install yourself? Did all the springs look the same. I wonder if they gave you 2 front sets and not a rear set. Either that or you have the rears installed in the front somehow but i don't think they have a big enough opening at the top and bottom to even be able to do that. If you didnt do it yourself i would take it back to that shop that did it and tell them they need to fix that

 

ok here are some more pics and 2morrow im gunna call the guy who installed them and bring the car back 2 him next chance i get

 

that looks right actually... i guess it's just shitty fitment of the springs

 

hmmm maybe ill send some of those pics 2 the company then and maybe they can send me a new spring

 

for a quick fix i would try spinning the spring so that the coil is below that part... worth a shot, and looks like it would work.

 

how do i do that just take the wheel of and try turning it by hand? im noob in this area dont rlly know much

 

you can try turning it by hand. there shouldn't be much tension on the spring if it's in the air. if it's too hard to turn, all you have to do is take off one bolt, at the bottom of the strut. if you're not sure what to do pm me and i'll walk you through it. it's cake, and in a worst case scenario should take maybe 2 or 3 minutes.

 

k rlly appreciate the help, wont be able to do it right now , prob gunna end up doing it 2morrow afternoon

 

my ssc springs squeak int he rear sometimes if i hit a bump just right

 

Mine sound like there is something metal clanging around in the back like something is loose.

 

then it probably is have you checked?

 

Had an alignment done the other day,just haven't had time to jack up the car and take a look.I will try and get to it today.

 

Mine look and sound fine...of course there's Koni's with them.

 

The spring is installed upside down. Just turn it over the correct way. Also according to the manufacture you are supposed to trim your bump stops 1" front and rear. Check the sticky I posted the install doc there.
Dont blame the manufacture for a faulty install.

SSC Bump Stop Trim Guide

 

kk thx for the info. Faulty install not my fault i brought it 2 a place and had them install the springs, and also had no clue you were suppose to trim the bumpstop

 

Well i went outside jacked up the car took the wheel off and turn the spring by hand, problem solved fit perfectly now and only hear noise if i go over a nice sized bump, not every little one like before. Thanks for everyones help

 

If you just turned the spring it did not fix it. They are still installed upside down. Take it back to the installer and have them fix it, should only take about half an hour.
