As many of you know by now I recently purchased a 06' Xterra Off-Road and I have been wheeling it for about a month and getting to know the new ride.
I am getting loud clunks from my front suspension during my runs, what I believe is the PRG Upper Control Arm hitting the Coil Bucket on full droop. I go over even a 6-8 inch rock with the tire and the pre-load on the Radflo spring slams down the control arm and it knocks loudly.
I'm pretty sure before the Radflo coil-overs were installed by the previous owner that they were cranked up for higher ride height, but I need them adjusted instead for performance on the trail. I already spoke to Greg at PRG and he said I shouldn't be getting any noise on compression or droop. Greg asked that I jack up the front and see when and where the contact is being made, but I am pretty certain that the coils are just cranked up too high. Basically, I am hoping that someone familiar with the PRG UCA / Radflo Coilover setups could help me adjust them correctly and get them set for full droop without contact so I can wheel in peace once again. Unfortunately, I don't have jack stands or a level surface to work on so I am hoping that someone could lend me a hand in getting this front suspension tuned up. Holler at me if you want to be my hero.
