Anyone have sticky coilovers? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Has anyone experienced after installing their coilovers that they stick, or dont want to rotate on the pillow ball mounts? Any other wierd feelings in the steering like it doesnt want to turn or anything unusual that makes it harder to drive?

I have the D2 coilovers and my passenger side pillowball was stuck. So we took the damper off on that side and Garage Works disassembled the pillowball and greased it up some, we put it back on and it worked fine. Before we did that, it was making a weird popping sound when I turned, but it's totally been alleviated now and they seem great.

WHen it was making a popping noise, was the steering wheel hard to turn or anything? Like so hard that you couldnt turn it or was it just popping?

yeah, kinda.. more like it wouldn't snap back like it normally does. But I could definitely turn it.

Ground control with KYB AGX. I have another thread about my steering problem, but i wasnted to get opinions from people with teins, or other coilovers. I am curious if they are known to stick so bad that it wont let you turn it fast enough...
