Advice needed for Suspension Pillowball mount !

[nitekid]

Hi Guys,

I have been Using Tien HA Suspension and only recently added the Tien Pillowball mount for my Front and rear. After having the Pillowball mount installed, it seems that my Rear has been making Knocking noises , is that normal?? I did not have this problem before the pillowball mount, it use to be very silent.

Does any bros here have any advice or experience on the same knocking noises from pillow mount?

Thanks in advance

You will get more noise from pillowballs, without a doubt.

my pillowballs don't knock.. so i'd suggest checking all bushings below in that area!

(when i say don't knock, i mean to a noticeable annoyance level, can't say i've noticed, not that it definately doesn't!)

I have been facing this problem since day one of ownership.
Been confrimed by a old school drifter that for s14/15 there will be knocking or clonking noise if pillowball top mount are being used. Only way is to revert the back top mount to OEM rubber piece.
But some brands do make lesser noise then some. my friends type flex and super street make much lesser noise
then my jic.
nice bodykit you got there.

This problem is more pronounced with independent pillowballs. Its not so much an issue with pillowball coilovers.

Couple of things to check from experience with Teins on my Pulsar.

Firstly, check the springs are seated properly up against the top mount as if they are not it can cause one hell of a noise! Secondly, and the reason why mine knocked like buggery when i put them on, check the nut on the top of the strut that attaches it to the pillowball mount. If this is not rediculously tight the struts will knock in the mount

The only increase in noise when fitting pillowball mounts should be from the road, there shouldnt be any knocks bar the odd one from the spring seats.

Hope that helps.
