Title: Front suspension noise - different?
Post by: GiT1984 on 11 May 2014, 17:49

Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of advice as I'm getting a slightly different noise to others and I'm wondering if I'm becoming paranoid .... :undecided:

Anyway I've got the adaptive dampers and I swear that after 2K miles the front dampers started getting noisier. Depending on the road surface I get slight clonks (lower speed, slightly rough surface), to a "pattering" noise (high speeds, smoother surface).

Tell me I'm going mad and nobody else has had this .....  :embarrassed:

I've got adaptive chassis control and mines been in for noisy suspension. All they did was grease something but it appears to have done the trick.

5k+ and mines quite clunky, not too fussed as handling is still superb. However if still on standard springs get it in to the dealers for a good lubing lol

As you say there have been a variety of noises and reasons

My personal one was 'groaning' on turning which turned out to be the rubber on gaitors twisting on self which were secured and noise eliminated.

Have DCC and can testify to zero noises from suspension it just bounces along in a really cossetted way with no creaks or groans in any setting from Comfort to Sport.

So I would say that is the normal DCC experience and any noise needs investigating.
