I got round to whipping the front wheels off yesterday to try and see what was causing my knocking on the o/s front. Only when turning right onto uneven surface or speed humps.
Was thinking droplink or track rod end after help from Decks, a big thank you for that
Well after taking the wheel off I found two wear marks on one of the coils.
see attached photo. looks like spring has been on occasion hitting the added Fiat cup thingy.
Now I must say that i had the recall done when i still had OE springs fitted, i then lowered the whole thing with -30mm Eibach's a while later and just thought i'd leave the recall cups on :bang:
I've now removed the recall pieces of s@?t and the knocking has vanished, i've delibertely gone hunting for speed humps and no knocking at all :woot:
I now PNL mentioned removing them before, i would strongly recommend anyone who has fitted aftermarket lowered springs AFTER having the recall done to remove them.
