Also, on the same side I'm hearing a binding noise when turning the wheel stationary. I pulled the wheel and knuckle off to inspect it and the tophat will barely rotate at all which is causing the actual insert to turn instead of the tophat. I've tried shooting some silicon lube inside the pillowball but it's still very stiff and won't turn. This is only on the front passenger coilover, none of the others. Overall very happy with the 500s, the ride incredibly well, would just like to figure out if theres a way to correct those issues.

As Super Black mentioned, have you checked all of your bushings?
And the binding noise you hear is normal. Add a bit of preload & it should go away. If that doesn't work, order the thrust bearings that Fortune Auto sells. And while you're at that, go ahead & add the said amount of preload that Fortune says you should add.
