E N D
How long does the Maxpeedingrods coilovers last? (and frequently asked questions) A properly installed and maintained Maxpeedingrods coilovers will last a very long time - approximately 200,000 miles or more. Coilovers that squeak or thump below this range can be easily repaired without the need for replacement. In this article, I will discuss all the common problems with Maxpeedingrods coilovers and how to fix them. I will also cover how to maintain the coils for maximum service life. If you follow all the tips in this article, I'm sure your MXR coilovers will last a long time. Common problems with coilovers and how to solve them Below are common problems people see in their coilovers. Most of the problems don't require you to replace the coilovers - just a quick fix and replacement of small parts can bring them back to their former glory. Also, most people become concerned about their coilovers when they hear strange noises coming from the suspension - and you will experience these problems at some point. These are the issues I'm going to focus on in this article. With that in mind, let's go through this list 1. Squeaky Coilovers If your Maxpeedingrods coils are squeaking when you drive (even on a floating road), then this could be due to improper installation or loose bolts. Suspension systems and coilovers have many moving parts and it is common for some bolts to come loose. The easiest fix is to find the source of the squeak and tighten the bolts in that area. You can also just remove the coilover, reinstall it, and then clean the coil as you clean it Cleaning the coilover is usually a good practice. I will cover this in the maintenance section below. 2. Clunking coilovers Clunking occurs because metal objects come in contact with each other. This becomes very common once you have been using the coilovers for a while. Or, if you have other suspension components installed, it can add more pressure and noise.
Metal-to-metal contact wears out quickly and they make noise. That's why coilover mounts come with rubber bushings and bump stops. These rubber materials can wear down as you drive and allow metal-to-metal contact - which creates the clunking noise. To fix this "clunking" noise, replace the rubber bushings in your suspension system. 3. Popping noise from the suspension The popping sound usually comes from the camber plate - which controls the position of the tires. When you steer, you should hear these popping sounds. The bracket plating is not a direct part of the coilover, but you will have to patch it when you first install the coilover. If the noise came directly after installing the coilover, is it possible that you tightened the bolts on the strut plating? Otherwise, it's possible that the strut plate is worn and needs to be replaced. It shouldn't be so expensive to replace and you certainly don't need to replace the coilover. Please note that if you replace the support plate you will need to go for an adjustment. 5. Oil Leakage Internally, the coil's shock absorber uses oil to absorb excess energy. If your coilovers are leaking oil, this could mean that the seals are worn and should be replaced. This shouldn't be too expensive either. Especially if your coilovers are still under warranty. All
