Hey all. Last weekend I spent sat-night sun-morning installing my TEIN S-tech springs. All went pretty smoothly and it drove nice at first. Now that the springs have settled a little I can hear a pinging noise everytime the wheels spins once so for example as I accelerate it pings faster as I slow down it pings slower. Something sounds like its hitting not sure what it is. Its a very low noise but any noise on a new car doesnt make me feel good. Im sure its the driver side rear spring and tested it by turning and shifting weight on and off that wheel. Any suggestions on how to pinpoint the noise or guesses on what it is most likely coming from. All I have done to the car are the springs that could effect the suspension.

 

jack it up look for scraps and marks where rubbing is...

 

dang im one lucky fellow. i asked a buddy of mine who put springs on his 1st gen DSM and he happened to have had the same exact problem. then as he was going to jack up his car to check he noticed something odd about the lugnuts. they were finger loose.... so i went out checked mine and after the springs had settled more 2-3 of the 5 lugs were spinning in my hand. thank god i asked before driving this thing much further.

um wow this is why you tighten with the ebrake on drop.. take ebrake off and tq them down... and you do it like a start patern dont do one then move to the one next to it do the one on the other side of the rim and so on....

 

yea i had a partner doing the driver side and forgot to breaker that side after we dropped it off the jacks
