PSS9 - Noise From Front Struts

I recently installed PSS9’s and sometimes can hear a noise when entering my driveway at an angle (no noise when going over speed bumps perpendicular). The noise is hard to describe, it is like the spring is binding and suddenly is free although I cannot feel anything. I checked the installation and could not find any loose bolts, etc. I didn’t lower the vehicle too much and am confident that nothing is scraping. Also, the noise is only from one side.

Has anyone experienced this and is there a fix?

Thank you.

The infamous...boing....yes there is a fix. It actually has to do with incomplete installation. The rubber washer/bushing off the stock suspension needs to be installed. I point you to this thread:

Well perhaps this is what you need then...Mine has no boing....

another fix

thanks again. i think you pointed in the right direction. this weekend i will see if there is excessive resistance on one of the camber camber plates causing the spring to bind while turning.

I have some noise and it appears to be coming from the drop links I used with the GT3 sway bars. My noise is more of a rattle than a clunk. Happens when the car is traveling straight. When there is any load on the sways (and the drop links) there is no rattle.
