#122310Coilover struts seizing/binding?
I've been running my Insurance coilovers for about 2-3 months now with absolutely no complaints until recently I've noticed that it seems the right front strut seems to be binding/seizing and making a harsh popping(best way I can describe it) when I go over some bumps. I can feel the popping and it is audible outside as well as inside the car when driven and when someone creates an up and down motion on the vehicle at a stand still. Visually I believe what I see and hear look to be related to the shock strut seizing/binding but I don't know if it's really possible to have this happen but I'm a bit concerned as to what I should expect in this situation.If this is really the case, hopefully there's something I can do and Insurance will be helpful in a solution to the problem. I will be dissasembling my right front to look for any other causes but for now, I'm about 80% sure that's what it may be.
My problems never end :|
