Anyone with Eibachs, HELP. Having probs with my shocks!
Anyone with Eibachs, HELP. Having probs with my shocks!
OK, here's the deal. I had the Eibach pro kit put on, along with new ball joints and new Gabriel shocks at the same time, still had original shocks on. About 150 miles after install, blew front left shock. Replaced.
Now I'm getting a kind of grinding, vibration sound (without the vibration) whenever the suspension travels "up". Like when I'm on a smooth road with alot of dips and hills. Sound is coming from the front left. If I take a hard right turn and "load" the left side, the sound is there again, and loud.
Took it to a shop, inspected it, and saw everything looked good, except for the susp. being out of geometry because of the lowering springs(knew that). Said the front left shock looks wet, like it is starting to blow out the seals again.
My question, has anyone else had this problem? It seems my shocks don't have enough travel and bottom out. Anyone else who has Eibachs never really said they had to get special revalved shocks, or maybe I wasn't paying attention. Are revalved shocks what I need to fix this annoying prob? From who would be a good place to find revalves, and how much am I looking at?
Thanks alot.
