question

[ramstein]

So I plastidipped the rear diffuser area, which came out great and as a part of some minor weight reduction process I removed the speaker from the trunk. After that I noticed cracking sound every time I turn and sometimes on harder acceleration. I looked at the undercarriage and everything seemed tight and right. I figured it could be coming from plastic panel but can't really pinpoint the problem. This sound drives me crazy. Any suggestions?

Go to dealer.

I thought about it, but due to having eibach sportlines the dealer may not do anything plus I wanted to figure it out without letting the car sit at a dealer the whole day.

Borderline impossible to diagnose without seeing the vehicle in person and driving / diagnosing it. It's like you cook a steak and ask us how it smells, you know?

Have a dealer check it out. That's what you have a warranty for brotha

just though might be some known common issues like bushings or something after sportlines..... funny steak joke.

Poping or creaking? Does it sound metallic. Can you create it at will? Do the springs have isolators installe on them?

 

[ramstein]

not sure on isolators , but it was installed professionally by a great local shop and ordered from lethal. the creak is not metallic, it sounds to me more like panels rubbing. Iv
e had the car lowered about a month and a half ago and the creaking started about 2 weeks

mostly on a slow left turn or upon acceleration from a stop, and sometimes when breaking....

it says eibach on the springs pretty clearly. I am definitely going to try a dealer since I know I have warranty now, but just not sure if they will overlook the fact that the car is slightly modded. since time is an issue too, I wanted to try with the help of the forum to try to get it fixed. might try to record it and post here.

sprayed a hair of wd40 and the issue disappeared. Glad I did not have to pay the dealer 200$. Now I have a different question, this forum is so inactive compare to terminators that I almost want to get back in one just for that reason lol ! So I want shave off weight and get dark star race stars but don't want to drive on skinny fronts every day. what front wheel do u think looks good with race stars? perhaps CF5s?

dark mach1 please don't advise that I go the dealer again
