Thread: Eibach Springs with gas struts

Squeaky noise on bumps, and turning to the left, any clue on what it may be? Try to get a video of it in next coming days.

yeah mine is doing the same thing everytime i turn left or hit a bump it seems like my idle will go up and it will make a loud sqeaky noise too.

sounds like someone is riding on there bump stops

Sounds just like a squeaky door everytime....noticed it A LOT going down a gravel road full of roughly 2-3 inch pot holes. mostly in the front passenger suspension area.

alignment is off? tires rubbing?

Alignment is good, tires not rubbing, its just when i go over or in bumps it does that.

My guess would be the damper on that corner and/or the bushing in the top mount.

Try bouncing the passenger side front corner by hand with the hood open. If you hear a leaking noise and / or if that corner takes more than one or two bounces to settle, it's most likely the damper. If you hear a clunking noise coming from that corner, that mount has probably collapsed.

I get that sound inside the car it comes from the year but i remember that i got ST sways bars and prothanes on em (Thats life with the red mounts)

PROBLEM FELLAS. With lowering springs, you really cannot bounce test the struts. It will always result in stiff. You strut is SHOT! My suggestions if you wanna keep the Eibachs in go CSK or swap springs to some Roadmagnets. I am the diehard asthetics guy, so please do not try and sell the seller on the car rides fine with Eibachs and KYB's, cause in reality, unless you have 0 potholes or dips in your city, the suspension sucks. I have lived this all too long.

Also, if you have aftermarket sway bars, the bushings may need regreasing. Hell, the rubber bushings need a touch of white lube. I have a lot of experience with this, so I AM QUALIFIED to make these judgements.

Er... what exactly do you mean by that? When you do the bounce test, you're checking to see how long it takes to settle down. Not how stiff the springs are.
