Ok guys. Need serious help. Clunk/knocking noise/sound coming when going in parking spot. Whenever wheels are turned right and i am trying to park or doing a circle, knocking sound comes from the front suspension. It sounds like it's comming from the left (driver's) side. What do you guys think it could be? This is the only noise I have in my car car drives just fine.

MODS
20 Inch GT-R Wheels
Tein basis coils
Hoschkis front & rear sway bars with white line rear end links
Cosco strut bar
spc front and rear camber kit.

I recently installed BBK kit and removed front heat shield and I think this sound started after that.


P.s. please nevermind the blur video and my mom's shouting..

 

Portuguese?

Check to see if your sway bar bushings/end links are loose. Either have the car put on a lift or jack up the front end and start tugging at various suspension bits. Something will be loose.

 

Sounds like exactly what my car does....

 

Check the topnut on your coilovers and make sure its properly torqued down, any play will allow it to bounce and create that same exact sound. Also, some people have reported front clunking with SPC arms so might want to check everything there is tightened up as well.

 

Nah it's hindi lol. I did check bushings. Everything seems to be good. Car only has 55k miles. I don't know what else to check/look for.

 

After reading your comment I went ahead and checked my left coil top nut and it was loose. I tightened that up but strut is spinning and the sound is still there. Also, everything on the arm seems to be fine.

 

Endlink or tie rod.

 

Yeah youre going to need something to hold the piston in place while you properly tighten down the top nut or else its not torqued properly (itll keep spinning), I used loctite on mine as well.

 

that fixed your issue?

 

No, not yet. I need right tool(s) to tight this top nut. Any one has any suggestions?

 

Loosen the top nut again and retighten it using an impact. Only give it 2-3 clicks though. I have Stance XR1 coilovers and that's what Stance themselves told me to do over the phone. Your clunking is probably your end links, sway bars or some other suspension arm.

 

I have checked almost every bolt and bushing and everything seems to be fine only the top nut was loose, I tightened that up by socket wrench as much as i could before piston started spinning and the noise is still there. Not even a bit changed.

clunk noise 2

 

Do you have grease ******* on the camber arms? Mine will start making noise if not kept greased. Also, SPL endlinks can rotate 270 degrees compared to stck. This will allow them to "knock" on the swaybars. Given most swaybars are powder coated, you may not actually see a mark where they are hitting. Food for thought.

 

I had similar issue. Mine was right ball joint and left end link. Replaced ball joint first which cured 90% of noise. Replaced spc with spl endlinks returned to riding quietness

 

Upper or lower ball joint?
