I just found out something weird from my 04 sti which I just bought it 2 weeks ago. Whenever I make a turn from a stop; while accelerating slowly (just like turning out from a parking), I'll hear some kind of noise and its mainly from the rear wheels. It seems like theres some kind of tension in the back that makes a low da da da da...noise, it kind of sounded like its from the tires but I'm not sure.

However when I drive in a straight road or turning in higher speed, the car if fine.

Could this be a LSD problem?
I just aligned my car today so I don't think its the alignment.
Also could this be not adjusting the coilover correct? Since I can adjust from the spring or the shock bottom. I'll readjust the coilovers on Friday.

Thanks

 

what do you have your dccd set at? not sure if its related, but it could be... id leave it on auto

 

Its always on auto. I have never played with it yet.

 

Ya make sure you didn't slam your car so the tires are rubbing fenders.

 

i am having the same kind of problem with my car after the coilover install. what kind of coilovers do you have? any other suspension mods? i think that the noise might be the swaybar being twirked too much but i won't know till i have some time to look at it better. post up if you figure it out and i'll do the same.

I have the Helix coilovers but its not slammed. I left an inch or more fender gap, yea I'll let you know if I find out the problem.

 

gimme a call 387-5647 ... i might have some real world info on groaning noises... especially rear lsd/dccd problems
