What's up everyone. I'm having an issue that I've had for over a year now with my right rear coilover. I have the Megan ez's. They squeak and clunk and I'm unable to make it stop. Tried to adjust stuffiness, adjust load on spring. Nothing seems to work, if even lubed moving components. Does anyone know if I can purchase one new one or know someone from Megan I can speak to. It's getting annoying even more so now that I drive it more often. I'm located in azusa, CA. Thanks in advance for everyone's help on the matter.

Our8thGens is a Megan dealer -- so worst case scenario we can put you in touch with someone to help you.

Have you tried tightening the middle bolt? The one the dampening adjusters go into? I know some people have tightened that and had better luck with the noise. From what I understand though, some clunking in the rear is pretty normal on Megans.

DISCLAIMER: I don't and never have owned Megans so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Yeah I've done all of that. In my opinion it has to be something defective reason being that when I adjust the spring rate and it is seated in a certain way the clunk goes away for awhile but comes back eventually. I'm just hoping if i replace it the noise goes away.

That's your top hat nut that is loose. It is a common problem that seems to happen. What you need to do it have that nut tightened down and it git rid of the noise and clunking. I did it with a impact gun and short burst till it was tight.

I'm going to look at it again and hope it's that. If that's the case then I'll probably apply some lock tight so it won't loosen up again.

Good idea! Let us know if that helps your issue!

Thanks everyone for your input, I'll update later today when done looking over the coilover.

Is this the nut that is under the dampening adjustment knob? Do you tighten it down while still on the car or do I need to take to coilover off before I tighten it?

I have some clunking coming from my front drivers side and I'm wondering if this is the problem

I would check everything else first it's more common for the rears to clunk. But use the nut under the knob. And for the fronts yoy should be able to do it while it's on the car.
