Suspension Knock / Bang on Drivers side

No offence but why do people not use the search function. The thread about this is even on the first page. You don't need to look hard

Glad you posted that, wasn't aware of that thread either!  I can't believe how common this issue is... its not like the dealer has much to do in the PDI, and this is not a hard job.  Remove the blocks and tick the box to say you did it.  Then they wonder why their customers get so annoyed or act like they aren't trustworthy!

Also if they say they've done the PDI, yet this part clearly has not been done it casts doubt on everything else they say they've done.

Thanks so much to everyone for all the valuable info on the shipping spacer problem.  I also remember this problem years ago with another manufacturer - can't believe its still going on...

In light of this I will now be scheduling my own independent PDI on the dealer's lift - and while I'm at it an inspection of the inside of the wheels and tyres...nerd:).  No intention of taking ownership of pre-existing cockups if it can be avoided...
