carrots 1 Posted July 7, 2012 hi fitted my rear jom coilovers today with new top mounts,all went well untill i went for a test drive.they creak a lot is this normal untill they bed in ,ive never had coilovers before.they are set a bit to high at the mo but i was going to drive it around a bit to see if they settle.i couldnt do the front as i need to borrow an impact gun to undo the top nut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted July 8, 2012 First time I changed suspension it creaked. Since then I use copper grease on all the parts and no creaking. Alot of it was the top mount bush against the suspension turrent. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrots 1 Posted July 8, 2012 do you reckon white spray grease would be the same.i sprayed some wd40 and thats helped Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OllieVR6 0 Posted July 8, 2012 Maybe I'll get the grease out myself now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted July 10, 2012 Dont know if there is much you can do really. See if it gets better with some time. It won't. ;) I might give some grease a go myself, I've been getting a lot of creaking when stopped as the engine vibrations get into them...
