Help a fellow tacoworld member out today or tomorrow

Is anyone really good with the front suspension and diagnosing a popping sound after a coilover install?

If so, I could really use your help. I live in Lake Forest, CA (South OC).

Getting ready to tow a trailer this weekend and would feel better if I found and fixed this problem.

I have ideas, but nothing concrete yet.

Help me....

 

When Does it make that sound? And did you buy the coilovers used?

 

did you relocate your sway bar mounts? it could be hitting.
re check all the bolts you messed with, use a torque wrench

post pics?

 

Post up a picture of where the sway bar mounts to the frame right near each side of the skid plate

 

Is your skid plate bent in the front? I bent mine up and them put fox coils in the front after it was bent. Every time i would hit a bump the sway bar would hit the skid plate ans make a popping noise. Just an idea.

 

I have to drop off my car (at Crevier in Santa Ana - off the 55) at 7:20 am - If you want, I can help you. What's your morning schedule? Also, do you have a good floor jack?

 

u can just check to make sure the swaybar end link is not hitting the coil when the sus flexes.... just a suggestion. look for rub marks.
also... make sure all bolts are tight!!!! never hurts to double check

 

Also, what did you install?

 

Here's some things you can do to give us more information so we can help you better:

Does it make the popping sound when the suspension cycles? If you put a tire up on a curb/rock/loading ramp would it make the "pop" even if you slowly eased up the obstacle to cycle the suspension?

Does it make it on harsh bumps?

Does it make it when you turn the wheels?

 

Just wrapped up with car issue. If you want help right now call 714-404-1089

 

Paul, i got this itch in my lower back just above the crack that you could help me with since the OP ain't hitting you up...

 

Man!!! I was wondering when you would ask!!! I will be up to the Motel 6 by your place and maybe we can watch Brokeback Mountain again! - the e-x-t-e-n-d-e-d version!!!

 

nah, last time we did that, you practically BROKE my BACK...

 

Ah come on! Sure you may have been sore, but a Broken Back?

 

Just remincing about this thread.

It reminded me of how scared my wife was when I asked her on our first date... She thought I was stalking her! For the life of me, I couldn't understand why! Here's a picture of our first date...
