Tein SS driver side problem
Tuesday, January 31, 2006 11:44 AM
So i cant tell if it is the front or the rear, but the driver side makes a horrible sound when going over bumps. It sounds as if the tire is off the ground and "dropped" back on. ALl the botls are tightened down to spec. Is this a common problem with tein SS. is there a way to fix this. OH yeah the the front is stock tein ride height, adn the rear is "five" notches up. The dampening is set 14/16, adn this only started after a night of REALLY hard autox. Thanks

Maybe realignment, whel balance, or something.

Not too sure who else on here has AutoXed hard with their Tein SSs.

Not on a track anyway.

Sounds like my buddie's car when the strut shaft nut wasn't threaded all the way down, had to use washers and buy a deep socket for it.

like said in the other post, most of the problems i had was that at the reccomended height to start... they tried to make em more level. hence took away the rake angle a bit.

secondly, at the recommended height, the axles were dipped, meaning they were below parallel...

so i raised both sides, accordingly about a bit over inch on the threads... 27mm to be exact.

no probs, driving hard, and even did some testing in a local empty lot the past few weekends... basically autoX conditions and the same speeds....

also the way i made sure the axles were level was to have it on a drive on type lift and raise it to eye height.
