guys i have buddy club coilover on my civic hatch but whenever i make a right turn into a shopping area or higher ground, it would make a thumping noise on the rear right wheel. It feels like there is no traction on the right rear wheel or something, anyone know this problem? (btw it does not happen on left turns)
EDIT: ACTUALLY it feels like the thumping sound comes from my REAR RIGHT Tire. I have a 2 finger gap all around so probably not rubing the wheel well, and my USDM Ej6 hatch have no Bushing for the rear so I dont think its the bushing. Also the Coilover is fairly new and front spring rate is 8k, rear is 6k. Its 15 way adjustable so the front i set to 9 and rear is 8.
HELP IS REALLY APPERCIATED. THANKS!

have you checked to make sure all the bolts are tight? check the top hat mounts with a torque wrench.

did you check the nut in the middle, for the damper mount? did you jack up the car and check everything? jack up the car and make sure nothing is loose, spin the wheel while its up see if it makes the noise. i happens on right turns so it happens when the suspension is unloaded, you might find something with the car jacked up that you are missing with it on the ground

i did not check the nut in the middle since on top it has a knob for 15 way adjustable so i figure i might miss it up if i screw the middle nut. anyways i jack up the car but nothing seem loose, also i dont know what are the torque spec for the nuts on a 98 civic hatch. =(
(the guy at the alignment shop took off the wheel and still could not find the problem. Although my trailing arm bushing are crack, he said it shouldn't make the thumping noise like it is. SO i think its not the bushing on the trailing arm
