Help Please

Ever since i had my coils installed i feel like they have been messed up. Lately they have been really loud and i have to go out of town on friday and would like to see if there are any local suspension gurus that can check it out for me. All help is appreciated.

didn't you go to EVS to get them done?

i'd go back to wherever you installed them....

i know the coilovers on my SRT8 "sound" a bit funny, but nothing major.

sounds like a slight creeking but i heard those noises were normal.

BUT, if your car sounds like The Battle of San Jacinto, then you might want to take it back to where did the install.

No i did go back and they said that it was just the coils and i ended up taking it to bmrtek and he saw that the endlinks were completely loose and now that same sound is back but hes out of town and now im.wondering if maybe evs jacked them up

give them the background and see what happens.

They were pretty shady last time i talked to them but i went to discount tire today to get a flat fixed and when i saw the coil i can move the actual spring up an down freely with my hands about an inch and half. Is that normal? This is in the front passenger and thats where i have heard this blown shock sound the most. The other side i can move the spring about half an inch to an inch but the sound isnt that bad. This is with the wheel being off and no weight being on the actual suspension.

hhmmm, maybe go into the suspension tech section, find a dealer for the particular CO set you have and shoot him a PM.

i wish i could help more but i'm not a techie - i work in the oil/gas field HAHA !!!!
