Will review car later but there is a horrible squeak creak coming from both sides at rear push rear up down and loud lol what is it coilovers these are new and gaz golds???? How do i stop it

 

Don't drive it could help

 

Stop pushing the rear up and down.

Turn up the tunes or wear some ear plugs.

 

Good job i posted up on escos site i may get a mature reply lol

 

Gaz Gold on a Sapph? The springs rub on the inside of the turrets. Drive it for a while, then you'll see where they have rubbed, then take a hammer to the turret to give some clearance.

Sounds like you have ruddy mice again?

 

easy solution is sell the coilovers.

and fit koni's

 

Why ryan these are great and its obviously got the correct springs fitted as its fairly comfortable.

Of course just realised it must be rubbing i had this before with the ohlins on the escos out comes that hammer will check first though before hammering lol

 

Phil my 3dr gaz coilovers did the same. Matt was too lazy to ever sort it () but it drove me insane. In my wisdom i removed them and fitted my brand new konis. WORST thing i ever did as the car drove better on coilovers with the 8" wide wheels

Anyway just bash your rear a bit.

 

Cheers chops its very annoying lol this feels great on these coilovers better than any other cossie i had, the escos had std gaz coilovers and was very hard this feels great

 

have offset spacers made if they have rose jointed bottoms - but then again they are cheap coil overs so you might just have bushes.

 

Coilovers are noisey/creaky paticularly on the n/s rear, on fitting the n/s rear inner wing requires a bit of attention with a hammer

make sure springs are sat properly in their cups if they are not it will creak like a poofs leather trousers

funny u should say that ive had the same thing with my avo's on the n/s rear too!! bashed the inner twice now with a hammer and its not as bad but still sounds like its catching!!! Guess im gonna have to take it off again and have another loo

 

Cheers, i think they might not be seated right them springs as thinking it sound more like that than actual rubbing.

 

turn the stereo up this is what i do in our squeaky golf

 

ive got gaz golds on mine and they dont rub or creak.. mine has the rose joints and on the bottoms they are different sizes so i put the bigger spacer on the inside to push it away from the inner arch on either side if that makes sense.. have a look at the bottom mount and see if they can be moved..

 

I Had this problem on my gaz golds the cure was WD40 give them a good covering that should help

 

Really? Will try that too...cheers folk

 

My avo's did this, it was the springs rubbing in the turrets, a couple of minutes with a hammer sorted it

 

My Mag Bilsteins have those, no rubbing at all on my car

 

Exactly what i had with my non gold
