I've been noticing this weird clunking/squeaking sound coming from my eibachs lately (sorry if this has been asked before). When I hit the breaks hard, it squeaks or clinks. When I go over a bump...same thing. I heard this is normal but I wanna get you guys diagnoses on it because I'm taking it to the dealership for a free oil change and multi-point inspection and they might tell me something different... :eek:

Nice Sig bro!
I never had this problem with my eibachs.
If you installed them yourself pop out the wheel from where its coming from and inspect the spring. Make sure its sitting properly and that everything is on tight!

lol thanks brosky, something I put together real quick, can't seem to get it high quality like what you have.

It's been installed probably a month or so ago, I didn't hear it until now. I'm hoping its normal like what the guys say. You've never heard any noises coming from your eibachs when you go over a bump or brake hard?

Gotta get a sig with a chick on my car like that too lol

Hmm. Perhaps something wasnt torqued correctly and somehow wobbled a little loose.
I've never heard any noise coming from my springs. Had them on for almost a year now without any problems.
All i hear when going over bumps is tsk tsk from the dampers.
Is the nise coming from a specific side? or is it all around noise?

Lol that's the wifey :D she actually looks nothing like that pic, its all scrunched up lol. ANYWAYS, just got back from the dealership, I think I'm going crazy, the dealers job is to make money off of you, I mention this problem to them and they said they heard nothing. On top of that, my car now feels tighter, the steering wheel I mean. IDK what they did but I like it :D Thanks for the help tho bro bro, I really appreciate it :dblthumb:

Pics or I dont believe you.

Oh and BTW regarding the springs, how long have they been installed and are you running stock wheels?

Had them on for about a month or so now. Haven't got it aligned yet, stock wheels and tires! I don't hear it anymore, but that's probably because I had the windows up + traffic. I talked to about 3 sales people + a mechanic and they all said it could be something is loose or maybe the spring isn't sitting correctly...my car handles just fine though. Hoping my struts aren't about to go out or anything...they may have tighten up a couple things. I was in a hurry to leave so I just took the report without really asking anything.

I'll get a photoshoot with her soon ;) unedited and in natural light.

Ive had my springs on for about 2.5 years. They "click" occasionally on hard turns (like parking, etc.) only when my aftermarket wheels are on. Stocks are just fine. You have to realize that you changed a huge dynamic of the car and its going to take some time to settle. Imagine living in an old house that just had a partial renovation. Creeks and cracks are perfectly normal and expected, I wouldnt worry about it.
