I just installed new springs & struts last week. Today I have a noise coming from the front right. It is kind of a popping/creeking noise, it happens when the suspension compresses...I have had the wheel off and back on a few times and checked all the bolts to make sure they are tight, no luck.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

On my buddy's LT1, the same thing was happening. We found out that the black rubber round thing that the spring sits in has a edge that the spring edge needs to but up against. If you did not do that, that may be one problem.

I can see the bottom of the spring is sitting in the rubber spring perch correctly. Maybe the top is not, I was pretty careful when we put them in, but I guess it could have moved...

Check your endlinks also, if you removed them. They may be way to tight

They probably were too tight, but that was not it. I am removing the strut/spring tomorrow. The top of the spring is not in the rubber perch correctly. Is there any way it could have moved or did we over look it and it took about 150 miles to make noise?

Thanks for the help guys, it was the rubber spring mount. Doing the front strut spring the 2nd time is easy.
