Kw V3 Noises
Anyone having any "popping" noises coming from their KW's during slow speed turns. Just had the KW's installed and my installer says this is normal on KW's. It's the coils unwinding on either the collar or top hat. Other than that the KW's are flawless but I just can't accept it. My installer said their may be a teflon sleeve you can install between the coil or top hat.
Anyone experience this or came up with a solution? |

How much did you lower in the front. I think my issue is I lowered past KW's maximum allowable height. Can you measure your distance between the center of your wheel hub to the bottem of your fender?

Any updates on the spring binding issue?
Did changing ride height work ? If not let's call KW and lodge a complaint - nothing has fixed mine (2 shops independently checking, changing ride height etc)

Even after raising the car an inch all around the sound is still there during very slow turns. My shop is ordering the Torrington bearings. Hopefully this will solve the issue. I will definitely have an update.

The Torrington bearings fail after awhile because of all the dirt that gets sandwiched between them. Do you have a link to the site where you got your bearings? Also the diameter of the bearings don't match the diameter of the helper spring Let's call KW customer service and see what they can do Tom.edge@kwautomotive.com
