Hello all,

I recently got sirimoto adjustable front endlinks, and raceland coilovers for my 2018 civic hatch sport. I’ve been hearing a loud creaking whenever I turn my wheel both ways, does anyone know what that might be?

seems like the coilovers are the issue. double check all nuts for torque spec

I got the coils installed professionally, but I checked the nuts and they seem to be torqued correctly. Any other possible solutions to this?

it could just be the suspension settling. give it a week or so.

Had the same creaking sound but because the brake pin was rubbing on the rotor.

upper strut bearings needed lubricated. Honda figured it out and I'm even modified! Very happy. I heard a small noise after but I think the grease needs to work around.
