loud noises coming from coilover

[Junkyardspecial]

I've had noises coming from my coilover and I went to inspect it today to see a moderatly loose spring. I was wondering if there was a way to re preload it? After inspection the noise got very loud on turnin and is stating to piss me off

Rear?

Need a helper-spring, then.

Front I should have specfied. Is that just an extra coil added in?

 

[jtmcinder]

Yes, but unless you're running outrageous front springs, you shouldn't need a helper up there. Yes, it will be slightly loose at full drop, but that should not cause any noises when the wheels are on the ground.

Okay I just thought I shouldn't be able to rotate the spring with my hands. Can the top nut on the camber plates adjust something? It sounds like metal on metal but I have no idea where it could be coming from.

Oh, crud. I only now noticed that you have a 1G. Absolutely, if you have upper plates, take a close look at those. But don't worry about loose front springs at full droop. Not an issue unless you're rallycrossing.

Think the camber plates are loose? I'm out currently ill take a long when I get back

After further inspection th sping can wiggle back and forth and the inner sleeve as well. The camber plates all tight and he middle top nut just rotates with the inner sleeve.
