Default spring diy gone wrong, 2000 4cyl


The other day my friend and I tried to install Tein H springs onto my 4 door 2000 Accord. We got the rears in but we had alot of trouble getting the front left spring/strut assembly in properly. I towed it to a shop and the mechanics only looked at it and only connected the damper fork to the lower control arm with a bolt. I test out my car and the rears squeak and the front left side of the car seems like its goign to fall apart. Ima try to take it to a shop this weekend but do you guys have any suggestions? By the way, the test drive sounds and feels scary but when the car is at a stop, the drop looks nice =)

Hope you got a refund bro. If not, go get one because sounds like they did a **** poor job.

if you didn't replace the shocks/struts that could attribute to your ride quality, the squeeking can be a fairly normal issue with suspension replacement but it sounds like something is loose, get a second opinion and if they say it looks fine then leave it, if something is messed up then take LOTS of pictures and call the other mechanic (before the new one does the work) and explain what he's done and request that he make it right, give people the chance to do the right thing before you rip them apart.... if they don't then trash 'em.... if you're just not used to it and you have a bad perception of how it's supposed to be and the other mechanic says everything is fine then start looking for some new shocks/struts to improve that ride quality
