Loud Clunk/Popping Noise After Coilover Install
tim08 posted a topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Hello, A few months ago, I had ST coilovers (part #90321) installed on my 2012 Fusion at a local shop. The install went well at first and the car handled great. However, after a few weeks the car developed a loud clunk/popping noise in the rear left. I took it back to the original shop and they thought it was likely a bad endlink. So I ended up replacing the endlink to no avail, the noise was still there after. Next, I took the car to another local shop and they had an idea that it was the spring isolator. I emailed ST and they said there should be no isolator installed, just the spring perch included in the original kit. So I sent them a picture of both sides and they said both sides looked ok. They thought that one side was probably a little higher than the other and sure enough they were right - the left side was about half an inch off so I raised it. Still no luck, the car is a little less harsh now but the annoying clunk is still there. I'm wondering if it's possibly a bushing - such as one in the Upper Control Arm making this noise and the shops are missing it. It's been driving me crazy and I'm not sure what the next option is short of reverting to stock. Thanks for reading! Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. -
Hello everyone. My mom and I purchased a 2010 Fusion SE 2.5L 6sp auto with 86,000 and change miles about a month ago. About the last two weeks or so I have notice a noise similiar to popping (perhaps). It only seems to happen AFTER I have stopped backing up, put gear in drive, and start driving forward a couple of feet, that I hear about 2 or 3 pops. No other noises afterwards. I don't think it happens every time we drive forward coming out of reverse but it happens enough to raise an eyebrow here and there. Should we be concern? Are we turning the wheels to hard? Any opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks yall :-)
