I greased the pillow ball bearings and reinstalled everything. Seems somewhat quiter but there is still a noise. This was only the passenger side though. I will try to grease the driver side this weekend. I think some of the noise is coming from somewhere else though. Possibly my sway bars. I have hotchkis sways and those haven't been greased or tightened in quite a while.

If your sway bars were making the noise it wouldn't have gotten better from you working on the coilover. Plus if they were the culprit it makes a completely different noise than rattling coilovers do.

I have several noises going on. The rattling got better with the work I did, but there is still a kind of squeaking which I presume is the sway bars. Or it could just be the car, over 4 years old now and harsh OK roads I have rattles and creaks all over the place

I set the preload on my Megan's this weekend and the rattle got better but still present. A lil sad to see your solution didn't quite take care of it either.

I drive a 2nd gen G35 which makes it hard for me to find used parts for my car on G35Driver so I signed up here to find parts to make my G look and ride allot better. That said I bought a set of ARK DTP coilovers for me G35 sedan from a guy here that has a G37 coupe and At first I was very happy and I had them put on asap. Well the popping crunk noise from mostly the passenger side but every now and then the driver side too I'm wishing was not there but I can live with it because it doesn't interfer with how it preforms. The problem I have that I cant live with is that when I went to Nismo Fest in San Antonio last weekend we went on a very challenging ride in the hill country and drove my G harder then I had ever run a car before and while doing so there was from time to time a dip in the road and when I drove over them my front coilovers would bottom out and it would make a load bang noise which made me very nerves. when we stopped to stretch are legs I tightened the dampening all the way to the right clicking till it wouldn't click any more. and it still happened. No one else was having the problem and I am reaching out to any sedan owners who have ever had this problem before and could give me ideas on how to fix it.

Your not going to be able to fix it, unless you change out your shocks! The issues is in the shock it self! All I can say is never put anything made in china in my car.

Just installed mine and it's pretty bad, I don't know what to do about it. Super loud and clunks all the time. I'm going to email the vendor and see what we can do
