Coilover Strut loose? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Last night I finally installed my PBM coils. I went to take the car for a spin, and I hear this really loud metal on metal tapping noise. I had my friend continue to drive the car (only about 35mph max) as I sat in the back to see what was happening.

On the passenger side rear coilover, it seems that everything is tight. The strut is moving up and down with play. Its like while he was driving the car, I literally felt the the middle piece of the top mount (not the top mount, the actual piece connected to the strut) moving up and down each time the noise was made.

Any idea's how to fix it?
