Eibach PRO TRUCK Coilover 2.0 Stage 2

Nice. I don't normally care too much for red normally, always think of grams 84' buick back in the day red/red. But trucks on point friend

 

Nice! Second pic I thought was a graphic down the side.

 

My front right feels like it is rubbing on sharp turns and binding/rubbing over large bumps, thoughts? Its only the front right. Sometimes it feels like its “sticking” or popping back.

 

any chance you have the sway bar relocation brackets installed? Had to take mine off, was rubbing the skid plate brackets. Made loud rubbing noises over speed bumps. All good now.

 

This entire thread reminds me why I pay someone to do my installs for me. Lol

 

I’ll keep an eye on that. It feels like its bottoming out when fully compressed and slso like it is rubbing in full lock turning right. Also slight vibration front right. I’m not mechanical at all so I have no other way to describe it.

basically loud fucking clunk noise on big bumps from front right

 

Had a 4x4 jeep shop do mine. Shit happens.

 

i’d guess its either ur sway bar clanking or your stock uca hitting the coil

 

Hm. I’ll be taking it back to the shop on monday to see what they think.

i can feel it in the steering wheel which is why its “oh shit” for me

 

I have a 2015 and I decided to order these 3rd gen coilovers for my truck. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

 

True

 

Just checked the torque on everything it’s all good. No signs of rubbing anywhere. If I didn’t know better I would say it’s a shitty strut.

 

Well good luck, keep us posted

 

The sounds you're describing doesn't make me think it's a bad coilover... More like something is hitting when compressed, and something rubbing when turning. But I'm no professional. You could always swap sides for the coilovers and see if the noise moves with it. If the coilover is bad the noise will change sides.

But first, I'd drive the front up on to a drive up ramp, big rock, or something to compress the front end, leaving the back uncompressed and then check clearances, also check with tires turned full lock both ways.

 

Maybe a stupid question, but did you loosen the top strut nut at all and torque with the truck off the ground?

 

I did check the top nut its fine at like 20 everything was torqued on the ground. My guess right now is either bad alignment or bad strut.

Also the “feeling” noise etc it makes is on the rebound. Like its dragging back up.

 

Is your steering wheel crooked when you are driving straight? Noisy Steering? Pulling to the right or left?Squealing tires? A bad Alignment has a much better chance of causing these issues than the issues you're describing, though it's possible to cause noises in the coilover, I think some of the above symptoms would also be obvious as well if the alignment was that off...

The coilovers have an excellent warranty... But I don't think your noises are due to a faulty coilover or bad Alignment honestly. Nothing is impossible...

A failing ball joint or loose tie rod ends can both cause a clunking noise... Bad control arm bushings could also cause clunking over bumps.... But I still think this is an install error... Something loose or installed improperly. Something with not enough clearance. Sway bar, UCA...

Try the test I described above compressing the front. Have a friend rock and bounce the truck up and down while you look under it. Or just wait until tomorrow and see what the shop says...

 

OK so drop brackets look like they’re rubbing the frame how do I get them out? I took off the two bolts that are holding the swaybar but there’s one bolts underneath there I can’t get to

 

Never mind ha ha success got the fucker

 

OK so with the drop brackets it rubs frame and binds up there and without the drop brackets a sway bar wacks the shocks. Any ideas? Use washers to lower swaybar? Bracket is too big
