spudley1988 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Right folks had a wee post up on the FB page about a slight knock coming from my back right going round bends mainly but can happen when coming to a stop, starting off etc. When i push down on the back it can be heard from kinda LCA area. Trailing arm bushes was the original diagnosis but those have been pollied so could be looking at the ARB bushes. Now are these hard to sort? Also can i get polly bushes for these or is it wise to just keep them standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 It's probably drop links, just change them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah ya can get poly ones. Ebay or strong flex. But as mentioned likely drop link if you've got civic arb with ball joints on.I'd double check your exhaust isnt catching it first since you say it's that corner.

spudley1988 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 I have heard drop links are bad on hondas. Was a common thing i heard the mechanics on about when i worked at Honda. I'll check the exhaust first but would people recomend the links first over the bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 For a knock yes. Assuming you have the ball jointed drop links. They wear out and the ball joints knock. Amazing how noisy they can be.If you've fitted an mg arb then the drop links are different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It seems like a good opportunity to replace with an MG arb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well the mg style drop links last a hell of a lot longer than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudley1988 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Already got the MG bar so ill hunt out some drop links for a mg and hopefully that'll sort it and last a tad longer than normal ones lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
