I've been on these used zero-2r's for about two years now. About a year ago it started to make a POPPING noise only when i turn the wheel 1 and a half or more cranks either way. I posted up a while back and several guys said i should tighten up the spring. So i did and it worked for a little while, then the popping would eventually come back. Now pop is a little louder and car pulls hard left!
Anyone else had this problem? Just change the top mounts? I'm hoping the strut isn't bent? How would i know this?

When I usually pull out from my parking spot I can hear my springs make a sort of ting sound but I dont have the problem of the popping. Is this usually when your driving?

Are you sure its your coils and not a bad ball joint? They make a popping noise when they go bad.

Pops when parking in a stall or turning wheel more than 2 cranks either way!

I'm hoping it's just a bad top mount(top hat)! Are you reffering to the pillow ball under the top hat?

I also have zero 2r coilovers and I overtightened the camber plates and had the same problem. When I loosened one of the bolts, it was broken in half. I bought new camber plates and torqued it to 12lbs and that fixed the problem. I had a KAATOONK noise.

^^Did you change it yourself? How did that bearing underneath the hat look? You had to change the whole top hat right?

Word to this gentleman's mother. You should check the torque on all bolts associated with the coilovers.

I changed it at monkey works and I had to replace the whole camber plate.

i have cusco coilovers too! and they make a loud boing sound when i turn the wheel too. so i oiled the bushing at the top of the coilovers and the sound went away.
