How Do I Stop Suspension Rattleing!

[2000gtt]

i have Apexi spec 2000 coilovers on the car, it seems they rattle as i go over little bumps in the road, or atleast i am assuming it is the coilovers that are rattleing on the rear, its on a R34 gtt, would there be anything else that would cause a rattle sound?

the wheel bearing and arms etc seem to be in good working order.

It will be the springs rattling my Teins do the same in my 34. It is because at the top they sit flat against the top cap without any rubber and even if you have what they call a keeper spring to try keep pressure to stop the rattle they still seem to do it well mine do anyway specially in the rear as there is less weight on them. I was thinking of making up some rubber rings and putting it in there to stop it just havnt gotten around to it. If you find a better way by all means let me know cheers.

interesting, might have a look into this,

but i have teh springs with a tight pre load...so i didnt really think it would be able to rattle around?

its driving me crazy

Ditto to going crazy with rattle from the rear of R34 gtt. I've got HKS coil overs. I've even taken my gtt to fulcrum suspension with $1000+ in hand asking them to stop the rattle. 1 hour latter the response was "your suspension looks good" ggggrrrrrrr. No money spent but still a rattle.

It's embarrassing to have passengers. Currently only solution is to play stereo louder.

Does it have a spherical bearing in the top? IF so that is the likely source of the rattle, the clearance between the bearing and housing.

i beleive mine do, any ideas on how to go about the problem?

[2000gtt]

ok, not regarding rattle, but how the f**k do i adjust the height on these!?

i can get all 3 rings loose, can push the 2 top ones up and down to preload the spring. but i cant get the cylinder with thread to budge, i assume that it would spin into the bottom bit thats mounted to the chassis?

I had a similar issue with my Tein Super Streets years ago...a wise forum member told me to spray WD40 on the springs which I did...problem solved...no harm trying it out.
