So the noise goes away if you take the bar off?<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by ywwong:
Thanks for the suggestion. I have mugen suspension which i don't expect it produces any noise. I will get my friend sitting at the back to find the source of the noise tonight.
I double-checked the spoon bar today and they are really tight. all i hope is that the my suspension isn't a defect one.
oh the noise sounds like metal-metal twisting, turning. </font>
Do you have the upper PB mounts as well? I have the same noise you talk about and in a week or so I'm going back to the stock PB mounts with the "5th gen shock knock fix". I noticed when I put them in that I needed my friend to put all his weight on the corner of the car to get the top mounting bolt all the way down. What your saying makes sense but god I wish I could fix it somehow.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Mark94:
I have that strange sound (almost like a shock knock) coming from the right rear as well. I noticed it a few weeks after my TEINS were installed and brought it back to the shop were they explained that it is the shock reloading. Most cars with TEINS tend to do this because the right rear is the lightest area of the car. Pay attention to the noise if you have someone in the passenger side of the car, the noise almost disappears because you are putting more weight on that area. I guess it is a design flaw of the TEINS.
Both they and I tried tightening up the bolts, adding washers, but nothing worked, I have to live with it for now, but if it gets even worse I'll open the shock and try to replace some of the components.</font>
i haven't had chance to do that yet.. but yeah.. i will try to do it in weekend<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by gLudeous:

yeah. those metal-metal scratching noise is kind of annoying.. I will try to tighten everything up this weekend.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by vabeach_lude:
I have a metal on metal scratching noise on my left rear strut. I think this is because I have taken it apart a couple times and haven't used any type of loctite. I think the top center bolt on the strut needs to be tightened with an allen wrench more and the base of the screw (the larger screw/nut)needs to be tightened a little more also.

I don't have the TEIN pillow ball mounts because I heard they were very noisey, just running with the stock mounts but I still have the noises. My car never had the shock knock before but I guess I inherited it because the suspension fits 92-01 Ludes and we all know about the classic 5th gen shock knock. What is the "shock knock fix" you will be doing? I'd definitely be interested in doing that to see if that is my problem.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by THATPRELUDEGUY:

BTW your in Rutherford? What color is your car? I'm in that area alot (I work in E. Rutherford)..I drive a '99 SH in white, tinted windows, no emblems, and lowered. Honk if you see me</font>![]()
The Honda fix is new collars that seem to go around the factory shafts...I'm not sure what's different about them until I get my old shocks apart. I might get to do that this weekend so if I do I'll post pics of the new and old pcs side by side.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Mark94:

Thanks, I'd definately appreciate that. If your in Hackensack, I can even stop by to see exactly what you are doing and give you a hand.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by THATPRELUDEGUY:

Well I'm going to actually just drop them off by my frined hopefully and let him take the factory ones apart. He works at Bergen Jaguar so that beats me having to do it!<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Mark94:
