5916, Noise after lowering
Posted by madregal, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
i earlier posted that there was this "clunking" sound on the left rear of the car after i lowered it.

i took it to my mechanic today.. <he is one to scoff at all my "mods" saying i am just wasting money on a GS... he is cheap and honest and i've known him for years so i let it slide>

anyway... he jacked up the car and showed me that the eibach springs can be rotated.. apparently it is not snug into the shocks.. this is what causes the noise. he put a rubber hose between in the space between the spring and the shock.

the noise didn't go away.. it's just deadened it. but it is still there.

my question is.. should you be able to turn the springs when jacked up??

i also asked him why it does not make that same noise on the other side (right rear) he said the fact that it is on the passenger side may have something to do with it (less weight)

help!!! it's driving me nuts!
