clunking/clicking like noise on sportline springs

[gRuNg3b0y]

Have my sportline springs installed couple months ago (oct 07) and couple weeks after I hear clicking/clunking like noise from the front and the rear every time I back up or hit a bump and still is. And When I got my rear sway bar installed (apr 08.) from turbo tech racing I saw that the logo that says sportline from my rear spring was upside down.

My question is shouldn't be the logo right side up?? Asked the mechanic who installed it and he said that just because the logo was upside down it doesn't mean anything. And if the springs are indeed upside down, I've driven the car in that condition for quite a while. Do you think I may have damage the springs already and will have more headache if I get the springs put the right way??

Thanks

they should be mounted one way. they are prolly mounted wrong. have a second shop give you another opinion, get it in writing, then go back to the first shop and complain

I asked couple of people around the other site and showed me an instruction manual and it says that all eibach logo should be right side up. I'll try to find another place to get them check up..

I just bought some Sportlines. The manual specifically says that they logo needs to be facing up (so that you can read it), otherwise they're mounted wrong. And I know Eibach wouldn't make a mistake on labeling.

blame it on mis-installed parts

ARGH been around couple of shops and they won't accept fixing it!! all I hear ,"we don't do performance stuff" or "we don't do domestic cars". I read somewhere that if the springs wasn't installed right the height of the car wouldn't be even. I looked at my car and it seems pretty ok and the ride is fine except with that little noise and that upside down logo.

Go back to the original shop and raise hell. That works nearly every time.

Your springs are installed wrong. You should have gone to a shop that knows how to properly install springs. If you are getting a clunking noise, thats bad. You are wearing out the metal to metal parts.

Damn sorry to hear about this situation you are in man , if it is the rear springs then its really not that hard to fix and you can probably do it yourself if you are mechanically inclined
