weird clunking sound after coilover install..

[ShinsenTuner]

I have a DB integra but I have a 5th Gen civic suspension system in it so whatever. They are Function Form Type I's and it's coming from the rear passanger wheel. I don't get it. Everything seems to be installed correctly, and I checked the perches and they are tight. It makes a clunk sound when I go over bumps. Could it be the sway bar? It doesn't sit "level" when up in the air and it was difficult to tighten the endlink bolts when installing...

It's pretty common with coilovers, don't worry about it.

still have bumpstops?

 

[Shiznit]

take pictures of the sway bar not sitting level and the endlinks

They're full coilovers... so I would assume there are bump stops in there. I'm not THAT low though.

and shiznit, i'll try to get some later today.

1) If the sway bar doesn't sit level when on a hard level surface the 2 most common causes are bent/damaged end link or twisted sway bar. Bare in mind that over time sway bars, like any spring do fatigue.

2) If your hearing a clunk when going over bumps one thing i suggest is jack up the car untill the wheel is off the ground then carefully inspect the coilover for signs of either inadequite contact pressure between the spring and perch or worn wear points.

x2 also it sometime the trailing arm bushing.

my bushings are bad in the rear and I hear clunkings to.

something is either bent or ur bushings are bad..
its worth tearing all the way apart again and inspecting everything..

If the trailing arm bushing is bad you might consider using the poly from Energy Suspension. I've used it with excellent results on 2 personal vehicles and on projects I was hired for.
