rp24k 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hi not been on for a while but would really appreciate some advice,A week before bugjam i bought a set of JOM Coilovers from venom motorsport. I had them fitted along with some Powerflex bushes and some new top mounts. Since these were fitted my car has been making some nasty creaking noises under low speeds, especially when parking. Why would this happen? have they not been fitted properly? the car handles really well now and is only lowered about 50 mil as i havnt had the arches rolled. This is really doin my nut in as i paid nearly a grand to have the head done, a new thermostat, new rad, and have all the suspension sorted.Any ideas people? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Id say its the polybushes creaking. Link to post Share on other sites

Antihero1981 8 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 rub some waterproof grease on the mounts at the top.... Link to post Share on other sites

richard157 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 try getting some silicon spray and giving your mounts and bushes a good dosing Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 christ, I'd have gone back to the garage and asked for your money back!!! If they've messed up with something so simple, what else have they messed up? 4" of play is not safe! Link to post Share on other sites

The Monk 50 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 JOM are the coilovers I have. I have the same problems you describe.However, I'm under the impression that they are cheap for a reason. Link to post Share on other sites
