Stan 24v 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Sorry for posting golf stuff on here, but it seems that this is where Im still getting the most answers 8) So youre all your own worst enemy :lol: Anyway, Had some knocking and light understeer on the 4mo. Initially thought it was the wishbones knackered, so changed them and the bal joints last week. They were all fooked!! However, it doesnt seem to have cured the knocking - Only happens on rough roads or on potholes/speed bumps etc. Also, it feels really light at certain points when turning, especially at low speeds. When I hit a drain or the like it feels really light and pulls to the side a bit too. The car has 130k, and I reckon most of the suspension parts have too. Any ideas where to go next?

A1 VR6 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Front top suspension mounts Stan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Not sure mate, thats why Im asking. Hoping to get some new shocks from Coxy, so wondering what else to change at the same time? I'll do the top mounts, but what else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Forgot to add, I noticed a slight knock under breaking this morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A1 VR6 0 Posted March 5, 2007 I'll do the top mounts, but what else? Bump stops and I'd imagine at that mileage the shocks if they are still original. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoxyLaad 0 Posted March 5, 2007 these shocks have the top mounts on them mate, and should be pretty much as new with 7000 miles on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 24v 0 Posted March 6, 2007 Its getting MOT'd on Thursday, so I'll wait for them to tell me whats wrong, and then source the parts. Had a look at the drop links today and there is a fair amount of play in them, not sure how much theres supposed to be though?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted March 6, 2007 In that case I think theyre fooked!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted March 6, 2007 might have a few of those lying around. sounds like this 4mo has had a hard life? or just not been looked after. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted March 6, 2007 Its got most history, but not sure its been that well looked after. I paid less than £4k though, so was expecting to add some to it. If you have got them I could do with them asap mate, let me know ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
