Re: Rubbing Noise

strut mounts or sway bar bushings and links, like they said above. Drive slow, then quickly sway wheel left to right, around 20 kph or so, you should hear the sway bar jumpin around if the bushings and links are your problem

Another good way to determine if the sway bar is making the noise is to disconnect it at the links. Remove the links so they don't rub, and do the 20 km/h test again. If the sound disappears, then change your sway bar bushings. Its a pain to change but is doable on the driveway. A hoist would be best though.

Re: Rubbing Noise

were the coilover just installed? or bought them with the car? Do you know if their were new Strut Mounts when they were installed..that would be my guess to the noise

So I don't really know how long this has been going on but it has become very noticeable in the past week or so...

I have noticed that when I go over any bump big or small the is a rubbing noise coming from my front right side. I put it in the garage when i got home a couple nights ago and popped the hood. I pushed down right above the wheel well and sure enough I heard the sound.

There is still also a bit of a wobble at high speeds (100-120km/h) don't know if this is the same problem or not.

I have a set of FK Silverlines if that makes a difference?

Any advice or suggestions?
