Tein S Tech with Tokico Blue or Tein Street Advance Z coilovers - Toyota Yaris Forums

fwiw I have a similar noise coming from my rear end. There appears to be nothing loose, I think it has to do with the springs binding against one another. If everything checks out then don't worry too much about it other than an annoying noise

Really hoping that's not the case. The Street Advance Z is not even a true coilover in the rear on the Yaris, its just a shock and spring with the adjustability bracket on top of the spring.

So the loud metal on metal sound from the back is still there over large bumps. It's worse on the driver's side, but happens on the passenger side too. The front is fine no matter what holes/bumps I hit and at whatever speed.

I went back to the installation instructions and noticed that the rear shocks come with bump stops, so I'm guessing that either they were not installed or they blew out (if that's possible). I need to get the car lifted to check under there to be sure. But right now it sounds like there's nothing acting as cushion when the shocks are fully compressed and that's what I believe is causing the noise. I wish I had a go pro to mount under there to record what is happening.
