Hey guys, after installing my coilovers on my vert, I noticed that the rear coilovers are making a clicking noise when I go over little cracks in the road. It doesn’t make this noise over big bumps, but only little cracks. The coilovers are Tein Flex and are in good condition. I double checked that every bolt is tightened. Does anyone know what this could be? ---

its very common on the rears with the tein flex…one way to stop this is by placing a rubber washer as a seat on either flat end surface of the spring… also, check the preload settings , if there is to much play, then do that before adding the rubber washers… good luck. ---

Thanks for the quick reply Varun. I’ll check that out for sure.
