  Popping Sound From Coilover« » Reply  Edit


hi there

my car's rear left coilover makes a popping sound when going through a small speed hump and sometimes when entering the driveway. initially i thought it were the swaybar endlinks. but when i took it off, the popping noise is still there.

what could be the cause of this? would a rear wheel alignment help?

btw, the coilovers are apexi n1 pro and my car is a civic ek1.

thanks in anticipation.

I'm kinda in the same boat right now. I've changed axles, checked all the ball joints, checked motor mounts, etc...now I'm down to the end links. I just ordered some Energy Suspension front swaybar end links today because mine stock ones are 10 years old, get abused at solo events, and looked kinda tattered. We'll see what happens.

If you take them off the car. Push down on the shock rod, if it doesn't come up slowly or at all...then they are blown. You can kinda tell if they're leaking by seeing some fluid on the shock body but it's hard to see that sometimes.

dont the springs pop when they re-settle on the perches? because if it was a faulty/bad part it would make the popping all the time i'd assume.

Finally narrowed my clunk noise down to the passenger side axle. The half shaft has about a 1/2"-3/4" play.
