Coil over guys help

[Cobra4075]

I just put UPR tubular k-member, a-arms, coil-over kit w/adj QA1 struts, and MMS caster/camber plates on the car last week. Getting alot of front end noise. I'm positive nothing is loose. I expected the ride to be rougher, but when I hit bumps, I'm getting this noise. I backed down the coil-overs about an inch(dropped the nose a little) and it got a little better but still there especially on big bumps.

are the QA1's threaded body? if not it's probably the sleeve that goes over the strut body..it probably doesent fit snugly, you should put some nylon o-rings over the srtut body to stop the movement.

Where would you get nylon o-rings like that from?

Thats a great idea, but I dont' have a Lowe's, only Home Depot. What are those o-rings for? plumbing?

Wow, that does seem like a good idea. I have noise from my passenger side only. It happens when i hit s real sudden bump, I may have to look into this O ring idea.

How about just wrapping the strut in XL condoms, then putting the sleeve on.

I believe they are used for plumbing.

HAHA this might work also, magnums might be a better choice though
