VERY annoying creek... - ginge191 - 21-12-2011
So, after installing my coilovers, i've had nothing bud issues with the drivers side.
first, bearings on strut were nackered, changed them...
now ive got a VERY annoying creek when going up and down bumps which give an instant shock - its not ALL the time but over backroads (bumpy) its horrendous... any ideas? im going to have a look tomorow see if i can see anything. any suggestions?

Its a peugeot? Haha but only thing i can think of is that the spring isnt seated right? Im sure someone will be along to correct me?

it was never this badm hoped it would go away
and yeh phil, could well be my springs... but how can they not be seated right. theres not really a way in which they could be wrong.?

Wont be the springs, if theyre anything like my coilovers then the springs will be flat and wont need to be seated like normal springs/dampers do

this is it... the springs themselves can't be placed wrong - they sit flat either end... im going to see Krisb soon, i'll see what he reckons if i cant see anythign visible today at least

Did you put the washer back on the strut, before putting the top mount back on?
Re: VERY annoying creek... - ginge191 - 22-12-2011
yep - i bought a new top mount when i changed them over..
the only part that differs is the top cup on the strut - i askd pug dealer that there wasnt one included, he said that the designs change over time and it was no longer needed... but ofcourse, everything else was
