Xeryon Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Significant single pop sound coming from the front end when I have a rapid change in momentum - hard brake or accel. Never when turning, unless i brake or accelerate hard on the turn. If I drive gentle or maintain speed i have no problems. Always just one single pop. Obviously, the obvious answer to the obvious problem are the ball joints, except I just replaced the lowers today and the uppers, skunk2 camber adjustables, have about 5k on them. Inner and outer tie rods, and coilovers all clock in at 5k each. While I was under the car today I inspected my shafts and everything is tight there and boots are sealed. All bushings look good. I retorqued everything I could see. What am I missing? Or are the S2 uppers that crappy? This all began when shortly after I adjusted my ride height after putting on the new wheels and tires.

DelSolSweetie Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 skunk 2's might be that crapty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 That's what I am figuring. Unless you are buying it I'm just going to install something else equally as cheap. Too much else going on right now to sink a ton of money into this car right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Put 15K on my S2 kits and they are still golden, if it is the upper ball joints odds are you got a knock off set (yes they do exist, and are quite common infact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Of all things I would have thought the S2's that I have were original - I did buy them from a fairly reputable vendor - either Import RP or Robear. I think Robear now that I ponder it. What set it off was going from dumped on it's ass to being a more responsible attractively lowered with an evenly spaced wheel gap.

Xeryon Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Later, you will have to explain to me how a hatch isn't a regular Civic. There is a sharp looking Red WRX/STI for sale across the street from my workplace. And my coworker has an abused RS for sale cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
