Last week my son had his 97 Honda Accord lowered with coilovers. After the front two were put on, we find out the back 2 didnt fit. We then removed the front 2 and put the originals back on. Since then, there is a strange clicking noise on the paseenger front side. It is heard over bumps and when he takes a right turn. There is nothing in the tire. Could something have happened when they exchanged the coilovers? Please help its driving me nuts...

 

His cv axle may not be completely seated In the steering knuckle(spindle) or you may have knocked it slightly out of the transmission side.

Did he let the cv axle hang down when switching out the coil overs?

 

Have the suspension checked again, if they installed coild overs, then removed them and installed the OE back in there is a possibility that something was damaged or not properly "re-seated" during all of this.

 

Hi, and thank you for the quick reply. I am bringing it back to him this morning as I called and mentioned the above. Im not sure what was done but i know it has to be rehecked. Thanks os much because this way, i knew what to mention!!

 

Let us know how it turns out......

 

You helped me alot. I went there talking words like I knew what I was talking about..lol..even though I didnt. The top piece, I believe it was plastic or rubber, wasnt sitting right (where the coil sits). The coil had squished it up and pinched it. It was literally half on. Thanks so much for helping!
PS: The ride with the front coilovers was HORRIBLE! Why anyone would want that is beyond me..lol! Nothing like originals!

 

Lol well it does make the ride harsh but, handling is improved considerably.

 

Tina, you got it resolved and that is what is important.....good job. We're here trying to help, need anything else let us know.

 

Maybe the ride would have been better if all 4 had been placed and not just the front 2. I Thank all of you for your help!!
