Golf/GTI VI :: Clunking Noise After Installing Lowering Springs


Jun 18, 2012

So I installed the DG springs today, and it should've been a simple install. Well once all was said and done I took it for a test drive. Every time I go over a bump I hear a loud clunking noise, like somethings loose. What it could be? I'm pretty sure I tightened everything.

Camry :: Weak Struts After Installing Lowering Springs

Few weeks ago, I got the Tein spring installed on my camry. Drop 1.5/1.6 front/rear.

Problem is now I sometimes hear this clunking sound from the rear. It doesn't happen very frequently, just every once in a while when i drive through a small&sudden bump.
Only from the rear, nothing from front of the car.

Another thing is that when i reverse & turn (ex. getting out of garage), it makes one or two cracking noise from the front, small clunking sound from the rear.

I'm suspecting the strut may be bad. The mechanic guy said that my rear struts are bad (when he was installing the springs).

Am I in need to get new struts ?

Camry :: Rear Suspension Clunk Noise After Lowering Springs Installed

After having lowering springs installed, I've been noticing a clunk noise in the rear suspension when driving over dips in the road (eg. getting out of the parking lot onto the main road). It feels like having your wheels lifted in mid-air and being dropped onto the road.

Golf VI R :: Installing VWR Springs - Rear Suspension Unknown Part

I am installing VWR Springs to replace worn stock components on my mk6 R. It appears that the previous owner slammed the car, and removed the "nipple" that holds the rear spring in place from the top. Both upper and lower spring isolators were present.

I am trying to find a name or part number for this unknown "nipple". I tried some combinations, such as "rear spring cap" and "rear spring centering guide". It looks like it would screw into the body, right above the springs themselves.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: 2012 - TRD Lowering Springs Installation

I have a 2012 corolla le and I'm looking into getting TRD lowering springs as I don't want to go too low and they work with the stock strut, however; I read that they work best with the XRS' shock and strut (might be just the strut but I'm not sure), my question is what are the XRS' struts called and where would I find them, also from what year would the XRS' struts fit on my le?

Golf IV R32 :: Clunking Noise When Let Off The Gas Immediately

I'm getting a clunking noise when i let off the gas immediately when the motor is under kind of a load, for example I'll give it a decent amount of throttle at around 2k-3k lets say and then let off fast and it'll make a CLUNK sound, kinda sounds like metal.almost kind of an axle sound...a lot of movement from the motor also. I am assuming it's motor mounts? I just did a stg2 bfi dogbone little while ago.

Golf/GTI VI :: Installed GTI Sway Bar - Getting Clunking Noise

So I recently installed a GTI sway bar on my 2010 TDi and was getting a clunking noise. I assumed that it would be the subframe making noise since I've read a lot about that but the sway bar is actually rubbing on the front portion of subframe (the part that bolts to the frame directly above the A-arm). It's hardly touching it but its enough to wear into the bar.

Golf/GTI VII :: Clunking Noise While Pulling Away - Suspension?

After doing reading I think my issue might be suspension related. Whenever I engage the clutch at a normal rate I get a rubbing/clunking noise coming from the driver side. I can feel it thru the gas pedal and it sounds like a card in a bicycles spokes. If I engage the clutch extremely lightly I don't get the noise at all. This only happened AFTER I had my H&R Sport Springs installed. Could it be a strut mount? Engine Mount? The car only has 4500 miles on it. I'm extremely confused.
