    lowering harshness

    i just got my new tokico blues with eibach springs on yesterday..my question is when i go over a slight bump or dip in the road is it supposed to make a big thump sound? is it just the springs stiffness? i do try to avoid them but im just saying.


    thanks

    should not hear any harsh sound, must have something installed wrong or not tighten enought some bolts or nuts. happened to me when i reasembel my front shock and forgot to put upper shock bushing in there, it was making whole lot of noise. check where it's coming from and inspect everything again.

      Definitely not supposed to make any "harsh" noises.
      Take it all back apart, and put it all back in.
      Make sure you tighten everything up good, and make sure everything is sitting correctly.

        another thing if you have camber kit like ingalls or SPC they hit inner fender on bigger bumps.

          i have an spc camber kit..but i took it to the place where they were installed because it started squeeking and he just said that the bushings werent lubed enough so he sprayed WD40 on the bushings and they are fine now..he said you have to do that every once in a blue moon. the harsh sound that i was talking about is only when i go over bigger bumps or divets in the road..never when i go over the normal divets or bumps on the road.

          does anyone elses bushings sort of squeek?

            i am lowered on skunk2 springs with Ingalls camber kits. my inner fenders always get hit by the camber bolt when i hit a decent bump. its normal, many people experience this. a lot of people talk about hitting the inner fender outward and such to prevent this.

              whats weird is that my right rear setup is the one that makes the huge noise...could it just be something not tightened? the other ones dont make a big noise when a go over a decent bump
