20398, springs question
Posted by 96rs-t, Oct-06-03 08:05 PM
i put some tenzo R springs on my car, and everything seems fine, but i dont know if its just my eyes playing tricks on me, but the rear passenger looks lower than the rear's driver side, and the front driver side looks lower than the passenger front. what could this be?

maybe for some odd reason they made the back ones different than the front, to compensate for passneger weight maybe? and you mixed them up, hell i dunno dude haha, maybe your car is just "special":thumbsup

yeah, probably. the only problem wit this is that i hear lots of nasty sounds coming from the rear ever since i put them on...i checked all the bolts and everthing is nicely torqued

mine made some noise cause my spring pad wasn't seated correctly. I tightened everything down and kept driving before I decided to finally just take the whole thing apart. By then the pad was all thrashed.
Are you A/T? My car sat kinda "funny" cause the weight of the tranny.

the sound is like if something is grinding, because its constant while the car is in motion, and when i make turns they have a low sound pop noise....very weird sounds kinda hard to explain, but when the car is in motion the sound is grind, when i put them on i made sure everything was on right, unless they came off in some way.

oh and my car is M/T

*edit: oh and this is only with the rears..the fronts make no noise
