Coilover pillowball noises


BIU

Recommended Posts

Anyone out there has tips to tone down noisy pillowball rattles and whatnot?

 

Im on Zeals V6s with the new function X springs...

 

Its contained in hot weather...but when its rainy out or overcast its starts to have rattles when traveling over washboard type surfaces....or over bumps etc..

 

 

I know thats something we have to live with in exchange for the performance... but i was just wondering if any of you have tips or pointers to tone it down abit if its possible...

 

Lubricant? Any methods?

 

Cheers

I bought some Megan coilovers with a couple K miles on them. One of the fronts seemed to have some up and down play in the pillow ball and was quite noisy - as you describe. It turned out that the top nut - which secures the pillow ball to the coilover - was loose. Tightening solved the problem. However, I have heard that pillow balls will eventually wear and loosen up - especially if the car is subjected to lots of street miles. I bought 2 spare pillow balls for $50 a piece, just in case these coilovers go out of production before I need to swap out the pillow balls.
