I have 3 inch coil springs from RC and right away I noticed that they were kinda soft. And by that I mean very unstable it seems. You can hear them ricochet whenever I even turn hard. Or hear them bend maybe? I don't know I tried searching this but couldn't find anything similar to my problem. They make a lot of noise is this normal?

I know the lift is gonna cause noises. I'm not worried about that. It's just they seem very soft. They flop around everywhere under there.

Well, if your comparing OEM to aftermarket, then there will always be a difference. I'd expect that the higher COG has something to so with it. Do you have the front sway bar in? You'll never hear a complaint about (properly working) rough country stuff being too soft.. Dunno about the noises, that doesn't sound right.

I did have the sway bar on after I first lifted it but it made noises before I took it off. Could the trac bar being off mess with it? Idk...

Mine seem to function perfectly

And no i. Am not comparing it to stock. I knew it would change. But my dads jeep doesn't do it or my friends. As far as anyone else goes idk. Anyone have this problem?

Does yours make any noise??

ZombieResponseJeep

No not at all. Did you tighten the bolt and bracket back down that secures the bottom coil?

Cherokeekid4x4

I believe so. I can go check. I think I know what your talking about.

Retainer clip, FYI. Do you have front swag bar??


Edit- haha, swag bar.. Sway bar..

What's a swag bar ? Is it to keep your swagger in check ?

Cherokeekid4x4

Haha no I don't. But it still made noise even before I took it off

VTJeep

I wasn't too concerned with the sway bar bein the noise, though bad sway bar bushing will cause clunk..

No sway bar is your issue. Get some disco end links and if that doesn't solve your pitching problem, then maybe there's something wrong with your steering setup. But I'm feeling confident about the sway bar being the issue.

VTJeep

Yep! Unfortunately I'm swaggless at the moment.. Shameful..

Waiiiiiit how's this have anything to do with my coil springs? Every time I'm offroad and I go over something and when it moves the spring, you can hear the spring compressing and bending and hitting the frame. Yes I'm sure a sway bar would help when turning but it wouldn't solve all the other times it does it. Should I hear the coil spring compressing and bending?
