So I had my local indy shop install swift springs about 3 weeks ago for me...
I now have a clunking sound coming from the right rear..
Today they tried to find the issue with no luck..they claim to have disassembled that side n reinstalled the spring..but I still have a clunk..
It sounds as if something is being wound then all the tension is being released..
There were no visible marks on the spring from touching...they said all nuts n bolts are tight...

Im hoping someone might have a recommendation as to where to looking for a potential cause...

Just doesn't make sense because there are only two bolts that need to be removed to install the rear springs...

Thsnks for any help/ideas...

I just order spring silencers...
Hoping it's just the springs touching slightly causing the noise...we'll see?..

swift should have come with silencers from the box
Silencers can preinstalled on the fronts...but nothing for the backs..

I'm not even sure if they'll work to get rid of the noise...
Just a shot in the dark...

If it's not the silencer then I recommend rotating the spring just a smidge. It's probably not seated correctly. It's rotating one way when compressed, then rotates back with a clunk noise.

Or another way is just forget about it and have some icecream. Icecream fixes everything.

Hey Steve,
What ship in Indy did you go to? I have some springs to get installed as well.
