FiftyTwoEighty Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 The popping sound is more than likely due to a rotated top hat. It is only noticable when you pull the assembly off of the car. If the top hat is rotated, you will notice that the spring and the strut piston shaft are not in line throughout the direction of travel. To rotate it back, you will need to loosen the top nut on the assembly (while taking all necessary precautions, etc, etc....) and then reassemble so that the top hat and the lower spring perch hold the spring in line with the strut piston shaft itself. If you use an air ratchet, make sure that the assembly is secure and that you are not spinning the top hat along with the top nut during assembly.

mudfoot Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I got my KYB's from my shop here in H-town. Do you have a part number for the front struts and rear shock absorbers??? KYB's website doesnt have anything listed for our model year... Got Torque ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklyngenius Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 H-techs are not harder than s-techs and they only offer a 1" drop. S-techs are 1.25"-1.5" drop and are more for sport applications while the H-techs are exremely moderate and arent much harder than stock springs. No I dont know the numbers off hand but I'll try and get them and pm you with those. KYB AGXs are what Im assuming you would want to know about. useless signature line where i cant mention my sponsors "First Bagged BL5!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
