Holy rattleing batman
Thursday, July 17, 2008 8:09 PM
I have a question, I have KYB AGX's, with B&G springs (red ones) and for some reason I have this rediculous clunking noise in the front struts. Everything time I go over a bump it feels like I have no strut boot or anything.

My question is there a simple Diagnosis for this? I checked both frontal struts and nothing looks out of place, I also have the suspension professionally installed.

Also my drop is right around if not a hair lower than KYB's 1.5 drop limit.

I know it could be a thousand things, but has anyone on here with a bit more knowledge than me have any idea's?

Thanks again in advance, I really appreciate all the help i recieved from the site, your good group of fella's.

The springs clang on each other. "Normal" for b+g springs

my Pro Kit does the same thing in front and rear. brand new factory mounts all around. Could that be the problem for me? Do i need aftermarket mounts?

Well I'm passed the drop with sportlines... No clunking for me. 2000 mounts will be about 1/4-1/2" lower drop in the front if you swap mounts. The 95-99 have the bearings you can replace instead of buying all new mounts

With B&g springs it seems my car sits gigher in the back, like an ununiform drop.

Here is my drop with KYB AGX's with Sportlines... 2000 Mounts up front for a lower drop, and car is a 2000 to start with. My 95Z with the Sportlines is about 1/2" higher in the front cause of the 95-99 mounts up front. I hope this helps you pick new springs to stop rattling. They can be hard on your mounts, but the drop is great. BTW I'm at like a 10 deg angle going down hill with this pic if you can't tell.
