    Bilstein coilovers question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I've had the B16 setup on my car for a few weeks now and I'm starting to hear a clunking noise coming from the front struts. Any ideas to how to fix this? I'm thinking it's the top nut on the struts but I tightened them myself and thought they were tight enough. Suggestions?

    Tight enough or correctly torqued?

    Who installed them originally? Were they assembled correctly?

    I would check the top nut first.

    9 times out of 10 that is the issue.

    Thanks,

    Alex.

    I think there are a few older threads regarding this issue with the pss10's. Never had the same trouble with mine so I'm afraid I'm not much help here. Good luck!

    I installed them myself and pretty sure they are installed correctly as this isn't my first coilover installation. But I had to tighten the top nut by hand. Should I try and hit it with a impact? It's hard to get a torque wrench to check the lbs

    That being said, do u know the torque specs?
