Front Suspension is bad! CREAKK
Hey all,
I had a question regarding*my Camaro 2011 2SS, I recently installed the BMR 4 point strut tower brace and everything*went well. However, after 1 week my pedders strut broke (the damper from the tip of it) and it was concerning because I don't know if I missed something in the installation or what it was. But after I replaced the strut damper and the entire front suspension, including the both strut dampers!*I started hearing a creaking noise at the top of the strut tower on the driver side strut tower when I would turn. The noise was not there before and also when I am in park and I wiggle the steering wheel left and right, I could feel and even slightly*hear what may be the tie rods? well I hear something!!! but I don't know what it is.* I just simply want to know how to correctly install the coilovers with the BMR strut brace and adjust anything that is needed. and when I mean install the coilovers, is there a washer that goes first and then a bushing or what? because right now it is has the strut bumper, a washer, pedders spring guide, strut bushing, washer, BMR upper mount, damper shaft nut and that is it! yet with this setup I feel like there is something missing. I feel like removing the BMR upper mount and replacing it with the stock one! What is the correct way of reinstalling the coilover strut with the BMR 4 point strut brace. What do you guys recommend when installing the coilover? I am not sure if when I added the aftermarket adjustable sway bar end links and new BMR sway bar it changed something that is causing it to creak on the strut tower! I also replaced,the in and out tie rod OEM, OEM lower and upper control arms and i might've not installed it correctly. Also does having an adjustable end link affect the suspension? Please let me know ASAP! |

Sounds like maybe the sway bar is possibly in a bind because I don't think (now don't quote me) you can really install a strut the wrong way. Have you got an alignment since you did all that work? And doesn't the sway bar have different mounting holes and if so I would try moving them to the other ones.
