coilover making goofy *** noises

[Stripes]

i've got tein coils with project nissan tie rods and tension rods and my caster is pulled pretty far forward. when i turn my steering wheel my drivers side coilover makes pretty loud creaking noises, similar to opening an old door.anyone know what this could be?

you might need to go get an alignment by a shop that specializes in lowered cars to straighten everything out. I've heard of similar problems being caused by bad alignments which can cause force to be exerted on strange angles that the coilovers were not designed for.

that could work. i guess i'll have to try it and see.also, i dunno why it posted this thread 3 times, sorry.

Yes sir, definitely check your caster angle and alignment.Strangely though when my coils were new, they were pretty squeaky and made groaning noises for the first couple of days, but they settled in nicely.
