one mecanic guy from my job did the front suspension,
he did also the rear but one broke on our hand... long story
anyway is making a new tread on the strut tube
but here my probleme since then, each time im getting BUMP
I hear my suspension it's sound like squezzing,
l
i got gr-2 on h&r spring eveything else is new top mount moog
ALL THE RUBBER AND PERCH too.

is that possible that something have been place incorrectly
this is very noisy over bump.

I DINT DO THE ALIGNEMENT YET since the rear is not complete.
ill try to record the sound its seem like its improperly seat or something, spring were seat correctly, so i just wonder what could done this i also notice the the bottom of the spring don't seat so well on these lower perch!
but nothing can be done there.

anyone can give me an explanation bcuz this is what make me thinking i should leave this car or let it die i spend over 7000$ and i get accept that fuck

btw is there a way to know exactly how the top perch is well place
we saw a mark so we figure out that was the way to put them outside hope you guy understand me.

thx in advance AND HAVE A VERY NICE HAPPY NEW YEAR

Did you get the strut top mounts aligned properly?

There is a little mark, or should be on the mounts to point to the outside of the car.

the bottom of the spring should seat really nice when it's compressed

hi guy,i have done the suspension its feel good unless if you done take the sound in consideration, so now i am looking for an alignement.
i read somewhere that a good setting is toe 0 all around and -1 camber all around i am correct, this may also fix my wheel from touching the inner splash shield, i have 205 65 r15 for winter tire and on a good bump i hear my wheel touching the splash shield.

also do you think these guy can tell me if my top perch or if the spring is not well seat?

ill be doing this , this next friday so i let you know the result, thx for your time.

Yes, that would be good alignment specs to run.

hello guy, today i made my alignment but i still do have this annoying sound!
nobody have ever heard this kind of sound
with the combo kyb gr-2 for legacy and h&R spring.
i have replace everything except the bumper and the spacer.

ill will look this next summer i will have to remove the front a look what the problem is!

if by any chance anyone as a picture of the top perch and top mount together on a strut i could check if we did it correctly.

i am a bit piss off bcuz i spend like 1000$ and it's look like a have a junk car seriously.

ill try to record the sound and host it somewhere so maybe this could help find out what this could be
