so is the clunky noise normal during low speed on our cars with flex z? im about to head to my installer to have them check it out..

 

Id say its commonly normal with zs and gs the way our suspension is designed

 

yes i have I was think it was the ****ty installer...

 

ok that will save me a trip to that place... any other have the same noise problems?

 

wat clunk?. i have tein basis z i have no noise no clunk. did u slam it?

 

Did you guys torque the top lock nut down in the rear? I found that mine made a lot of noise too until I tightened it down.

 

ok I see what you were talking about. I was able to stick my finger in there and turned the ****.
Thx

 

It's a common issue on the BC coilover. After I setup my Flex Z's pre-load correctly, 0 clunking in the rear. There is an issue with your pre-load, spring isolator, or the top of the strut needs to be re-torqued.

 

once I put like 500 miles on it my mechanic said bring it back and he would re-adjust some things...I'll have him look at the top of the strut and see. Cuz it is noisy at low speeds...sounds loose though it doesnt feel like it

 

I have no clunk. Top nut was loose from factory. Made sure to torque down before installing as another person had the same issue. After doing that, I had 0 issues.

And I am glad I peeped in here. Setting at the recommended 12 position works very well in the back. However, I always wondered wtf the rubber grommets were. I was planning on dropping the strut if I ever had to adjust. Glad I do NOT anymore.

 

apparently with the flex Z you can't preload the rears because of the seat position. They sit in the cup like the stock springs. IDK...we'll see
