This tells me that it isn't the sound of the spring compressing but the springs must be overlapping and I hear the popping back off which explains why I hear it coming out the bumps not into them. I'm definitely down for a 45 min drive to your shop with somebody experienced sorting this. Do you think the top hat reversal could cause the overlapping? |

You probably don't really hear anything on flat surface, but as soon as you drive over uneven or hard dips, you hear a loud clunk like the strut is gonna pop through. If you are willing to drive, give Pure Automotive a call. Talk to Earnie. Say (Dewey) w the x3m sent you. |

ztay I second to dooo , sounds like installation issue.
The spring should be chipped where it met to the top mount. Unless if it is positioned wrongly. If it chip by the mid part, it is because the installer uses cheap spring compressor. I myself experienced a few installation issue from other local known shop that brags a lot about their knowledge on MSS. I recently have to fixed another installation from the same shop. This time they didn’t replace the front bump stops and set the adjuster at full drop. I hope the other shop will be able to catch the mistake and fixed it.

https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Compa.../dp/B083K2Q8CL I didn't use the hardware it came with, I don't see how you can get the clips in place for the upper holes, plus the screw would increase the size of the hole in the sheet metal and start rust. I used the factory screws that you remove for the lower holes, and bought a pack of replacement BMW expanding rivets to replace the ones you need to remove for the upper holes. |
