VWR Spring Noise
« on: 07 August 2018, 08:41 »
Hi all. I've just installed VWR springs on my car, and have developed a very slight knock from the front when going over small undulations and bumps in the road. I took the front wheels off and checked everything was tight and seated, and it all seems fine. Has anyone had any experience of this? Thanks

Sounds like bushes or top mounts.

I've got the same problem, been reliably informed its the bushes.

Plan to upgrade mine with SuperPro bushes and control arms.

Thanks for the replies guys. I just find it weird as I have had my past 4 cars lowered on a variety of springs and have never had an issue. If it's the bushes then at least I know what it is and can rectify it!

Got it sorted. Turns out the garage had fitted the springs upside down! Glad to have it fixed, but had to pay double, as I wasn't taking it back to the first garage as they had damaged my car the first time round and I have no confidence in them. I'll now have to try for a refund.
