Title: knock knock
Post by: Wazzzer on 09 April 2010, 22:29

who's there?




Ah it's Mr. ARB and driveshaft  :cry:

Ah well it's an excuse to get some adjustable drop links when I get back  :wink:

It's not too bad, just on full lock at the mo but I know the front is gonna settle a bit lower after the drive 2moro so I'd better do something pro active before I get whinged at  :grin:

slow speed on full lock to the right I have a sort of rubbing noise and if I'm moving slowly and on full lock it knocks going over bumps (very rare I do this lol)

yeah I guess it's cos the driveshaft shifts slightly when the shock turns. I'll have a good look under there in the day light and see what's occuring

Which rear arb do you run?

H&R 26mm front arb and Neuspeed adjustable(middle setting)28mm arb makes for the perfect combo :wink:
