| well the last couple of days this has been doing my head in, theres a hard knopcking noise coming from the drivers side. things ive done are put new roll bar links on (both sides) were put on when the lowering springs were fitted, just ordered a pair of wishbones which will hopefully be here tomorrow (fingers crossed they will sort it). if this dont work the only other 2 things i can think of is the strut tops or main antiroll bar bushes. will have to see what happens (going to be like a new car when its sorted with all the new parts shes getting). | |
