In this video I work on the e36 with eBay maxpeedingrods coilovers. They are making a knocking or popping noise. I believe I have found a way to fix that issue.

a few years back we had an issue with some of the Honda Pilots making a popping noise and we to grease the struts as well, good work catching your "gremlin" !

@VidTubeWatch 3 года назад

Thanks for doing this video. Very nicely done. I have been having similar issues with my rear coil overs. I haven't put the fronts on yet, but this will definitely help me out if I have any creaking in the front. My preload was not preset from FF2 like it was supposed to be when I put on my rears the other day. Take care. New sub!

Thanks bro. I will powder coat it next time. Painting calipers suck to me

@lbcsteve 3 года назад

You just got a 'Like' and a 'sub'! I just bought/installed these maxspdrds. this past week and have still been hearing knocking/popping sound coming from certain areas, most noticeably the L-rear area. I've loosened joints at rest/ tightened under load a few times hoping that might fix it, but no luck. I've got a good feeling that my issue may be similar to yours, but I can't check now because it's 1a.m. and I can't take my suspension apart at the moment :(. But later today I will oil-the-crap outta these rods, and hopefully, make that pop-sound disappear. I don't have proper grease on hand, but some Kroil-penetrating oil and some other machine-grade lubes; should that suffice, or is grease a must? I ask because the Kroil smells harsh and is kinda gnarly-chemically, and I'm not sure if that may be too harsh on the rubber ball or something (or if it'll just evaporate too quickly in the future)? Anyway, thanks for the vid! I've spent the last few nights looking up potential causes for these sounds after installing these coilovers and been getting nothing but all the wrong-types of videos and articles for the causes of 'bad' suspension sounds (I'm surprised it's taken so long for the 'always watching', 'always listening', 'always influencing-your-web-traffic' - Google-overlords, to steer me toward your video in the utube recommendations).

Hi can I ask a question the popping sound can you call that like a knocking sound when you run a small pothole on the road but my preload is nice and tight can this be the knock I’m getting do I need to lubricate it please help thanks.

@freddiemaurer3522 2 года назад

I just tried the grease on my mustang it worked no more pops and I took some preload off the springs.👍

@yourleafyourlife5734 4 года назад

I've had two pairs maxspeeding rods now. One for 4th gen prelude and a set for 5th gen. Some 9f them def8nitely need to be greased to avoid that noise. I had the same exact issue with my first set.

@ModMax69 4 года назад

I'm thinking of getting a set for my 5th gen. I've heard the front won't go lower than stock springs. Is that true or is there a fix? Just want a little lower than stock all around

Better to grease before installation! Avoid the issue.

@quadflopper1012 4 года назад

just for information, to match pre-loads side to side on adjustable coilovers that are already installed you measure from the top of the spring down the bottom of the spring not the free space between bottom tube and the bottom spring collar, the bottom strut tubes could be threaded on to different levels..........

@AtomicGarage 4 года назад

Good catch. I did that when I first installed them! Thanks

Nice video, how are the coilovers holding up, I just bought a pair and I have the same exact noise. I’ve been trying to fix but can’t see to. What are the exact point that your greased and will I have to take the coilover apart

@AtomicGarage 4 года назад

I still occasionally get a knock. But it’s random and doesn’t happen a lot. I took apart my coilovers to grease the top hat but it’s not mandatory. Make sure your clocking collars are TIGHT. Also check back Friday bc I am dropping a video about adjusting coilovers and where noise could be coming from. Friday at 12

Nice I greased my coilovers and they haven’t made a noise in since I greased then I used lithium extra white grease. Great stuff. I’ve subscribed so I won’t miss any of your content

@dennisrobinson8008 2 года назад

Where did you get the lower spring rate springs? What brand and rating? Was the length similar to the maxpeeding rods springs? It seems we should disassemble and grease before installing.

@AtomicGarage 2 года назад

Def disassemble and grease. I have to find those spring specs

@dennisrobinson8008 2 года назад

I found Eibach sells lower spring rate coil over springs in the 2.75"x8.7" length required for the Maxpeedingrods.

@dennisrobinson8008 2 года назад

The springs are $69 each on ebay and there are a dozen or so spring rates.

How’s it goin man. Still pop free on the coilovers? Just installed mine and are popping like hell lol.

@AtomicGarage 5 лет назад

Still pop free! Do your adjustments. Grease certain spots and make sure the top spring adjustment point ( right under the top mount) is tight. If that’s loose it’ll pop

@KSBladeworks 5 лет назад

Nice. Thanks man

@dennisrobinson8008 2 года назад

Disassemble and grease all metal on metal surfaces. The pillow ball mount is the culprit usually for the popping sound.

@anthonyespinoza4046 4 года назад

It’s probably the top hat

@oldwortex5818 4 года назад

I believe I found the issue. It is not in the strut mount, but further down the upper spring seat. The seat is supposed to fit tightly on the strut shaft, via a spline or cut into the shaft. The spring seat however is poorly manufactured and allows movement. The whole is not perfectly fits over the shaft, but rather loosely. This allows some movements of the seat w/o the shaft turning. This is where the noise comes from. The grease makes the movement slippery and less creaky but eventually the noise will be back. I only drove about 50-60 miles with this issue and the seat is already is in worse shape. This is aluminium so it wears fast if there is a bind. The solution is a new spring seat but have not been able to find parts or parts list anywhere. I tried contacting the manufacturer w/o success which worries me. It is a cheap kit but not throwaway cheap. I paid $209 and do not want to buy an another one because of a small part of it failed. That part should be available as replacement. I made a primitive video of the issue when I found it. If you go to my youtube site, it should be there. I'm not a pro on this, just wanted to help finding the source of this horrible noise.

@AtomicGarage 4 года назад

This is wonderful! I am going to look at your video and look over my coilovers and see if together we can make something happen! Good job

@oldwortex5818 4 года назад

this might make it better but not a fix per se. The fact that all coil overs creak on the right side and ONLY on a right side, it tells me this is other issue. I have same issue, right side makes same noise. It turns the coil upper seat and that makes the noise. I'm thinking manufacturing defect.
