UPR K-member

[Grey03Cobra]

I have a Hellion turbo which came with the UPR K-member, A-arms, and coil overs.

When I first started driving the car the K-member was fairly quiet, now it squeeks a lot, mostly when I am at a light and start off I get a bit of squeeking, and especially if the road is a little bumpy I get a lot of noise. Is this normal, or have some bolts loosened? It sounds like an old jalopy. It's really embarassing. Like I said, it was quiet before.

How long has it been since the install? Maybe you need to retorque all the mounting bolts and associated items that were removed and reinstalled.

+1 for 1000 mile retorque, if applicable

I've put about 350 miles since the rebuild. I didn't know about retorqueing, thanks.

Yeah but for your hp the car might think it's been a 1,000 miles.:rockon:

doing a k and and coil overs with a 200lbs spring is gonna be hella loud.. the reason for maybe not hearing it at first, is because your springs are broke in a little now and at that spring rate i heard you get alot of coil bind..
