Fitted my coilovers today (corsa c). they were a bit of a pain in places and had to use some bits off old front suspension.
When I turn the wheel it creaks from the front, quite loud. the wheels arnt catching anywhere so does any1 have any ideas.
I know the tracking and camber need adfusting so could it be to do with this?
Thanks

tighten the platform up more?

the spring should be pretty tight on the platforms......so just turn it a few threads so it locks the spring up
