Creaking when turning

[BlueWRX]

Would it still be covered with aftermarket springs?

Is the noise anything like what you can hear in the video in this thread? http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=9448& ... sc&start=0 Problem was... Sway bar end links & bushes were faulty (just as others have found worldwide). Mitsubishi covered it under warranty, even though my warranty had expired (due to raising the issue prior to the warranty running out).

Hey, yeah it does sound very similar. So I should up the dealer?

Just got home and watched the video that is the sound i have!

Ahh I have the same issue, mainly on cold mornings backing out of my drive too.
Great video Brian, I'll be doing this very soon; hope it fixes it.

[longa]

I had the same problem particularly when I was parking or doing some slow movement. I thought it was because i had a car accident and the front right tyre got bashed in lol

[empror]

Brian's video solution works really well. last time did it on the drivers side, checked today, driver's side still solid. Did the passenger side today, problem gone

[Frosty]

I did Brian's fix today and it worked perfectly! Thanks mate.

[BR14AN]

No worries everyone! Glad I could help

Hi Guys, i had this long ago.

My ride been lowered with Eibach Pro Kit, should this still be under warranty looking at the issue is effecting lots other CJ owners.

Regarding the question of "would it still be covered under warranty if your car has aftermarket springs?"

My advise would be to first try your local Mitsi Dealer to see if they can remedy the issue under warranty, but I would guess that because the issue (more than likely) started due to a third party dismantling and reinstalling the components incorrectly (and not due to the car being assembled incorrectly) they may dismiss the warranty claim.

Your only option then is to take your car back to whoever installed your springs and get them to fix the problem – tell them they caused it so they must fix it at no cost.



I would warn every owner who has this issue to get it fixed as quickly as possible. This is because the longer you leave it, the more damage is done to the thread on the Sway bar end links and if left to long (like mine) they need replacing.

So get it sorted ASAP, as the cause of the problem is only a loose nut.

It's not a loose nut with my car, toke him up to a friends place the other week to check n the nut is still on nice n tight (on both sides), he guessed that it's the rubbers from the end of the sway bar or something.

I've got the same prob but Mitsubishi won't fix it under warranty as I have coilovers fitted, so ill just get it fixed somewhere else.
