New lowering kit knocking like mad!
« on: 16 November 2008, 19:27 »
i just fitted a new lowering kit to my diesel, same as i put in the 1.4 but its knocking like mad over bumps and potholes!  seems to be the front and back,  its all put back in the same order as the origonal setup but the top mounts of the front shocks dont look right, the top plates under the bonnet seem to be up to high and the bolt will only go on half way, the other side seems to be a bit better.  Any ideas?

cheers.

This was my front top mounts after fitting the coilovers, as for the rear check your top mounts, I have had 2 sets fail in 6mths.
