Munch

ok, so ive been searching for like a week for this, and normally i wouldnt post, which explains my low post count, but this is starting to bug the crap out of me.

I installed some stance coilovers on my s13 about two weeks ago, and i love em, but the front ones are giving my some problems.

for instance, when u turn the steering wheel, where is the coilover supposed to rotate?

Ide imagine it rotates in the ball joint or whatever in the camber plate, but mine is just rotating around the bottom of the spring. The spring perch and lock are locked to the body of the coilover, but the spring doesnt rotate, it stays still and the perch rotates underneath it.

(i just lifted the dust boot, and saw the threaded body of the coilover is rotating around the piston, while the piston stays stationary.)

It bugs me while driving because it makes a springy noise while turning, as if you hit the spring with something hard. (i know other people have had the same noise, found them in search)

When i first started getting this sound, i found a thread where someone suggested tightening the top nut on the coilover, which i found was pretty loose, so i tightened it. The sound went away, but now its come back. I cant really tighten the top nut any more cause it wont move. can it be too tight?

Should i perhaps just lube the ball joint or whatever up top?

I can get a video of it doing its thing if it'll help decipher my problem.
