Anoying knock on passenger side any idea's ??
« on: 11 May 2013, 12:45 »
hey all I have a really annoying knock when im going over bumps and little dips in the road , my car  is lowered on coillovers and ive had the strut mounts changed and still got the noise now ive looked underneath the car and ive got standard droplinks on and it also looks like the antirollbar is no where near it either so cant see it knocking on that , any other ideas ??

would adjustable droplinks make any difference ?

its getting to the point where im looking at taking the coillovers off and put standard suspension back on

Top mounts already been replaced , I've looked at the arb bushes and they seem ok , what about wishbone bushes ?

Mine used to donut till I fitted new coilovers (+top mounts)
What you wanna do is undo the drop links and see if there is any movement in the arb bushes
