Jamalam724 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hi guys replaced the anti roll bar drop links today, and im still getting the same knocking noise? metal on metal... when i go over a small hole or bump so when the shock is enlarging in size? If that makes sence? sounds like its mainly drivers size? should i take the coilover out and put it back in? no seated right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Afraid its all about trial and error mate .. Could well be the top mounts on the coilover .. Or that they're worn internally (giggady) Could also be looking at lower/upper ball joints which are now knocking as the pressure is being applied at a different angle since lowering .. Could also be the upper suspension arms knocking the underside of the strut tower .. Need to get it off the ground and have a proper poke around, with a big as bar too to move the suspension around .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastgtir Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 When I had the metal on metal sound, I found it was the metal brake disc shield that had rusted away and come detached from the hub. Everytime I'd go over a bump, it would make an awful sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Did you fit new or second hand coilovers? Could be a busted shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalam724 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Brand new all round, its the front drivers side that its coming from? Going to un bolt the coilover and tak eit out, look for any damamge all around, if its metal on metal chances are it will leave a mark.. Hope to get this solved, its irratating as f**k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Bet its frustrating mate but as you said, it should leave some form of mark/scouring .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Prob something simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalam724 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yeah, gunna have to deal with it until i get abit more light in the evenings. from memory, when i fitted them about 6 months ago ( new ) there was no knocking... so as they've settled in and got abit softer the car has dropped a good 10mm so might be a simple fix by raising the car slightly again... will let everyone know as soon as a solve the problem for future reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
