Oz Striker Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Looking for stock front shocks/struts. I've got an annoying knocking from my front suspension that i'm trying to hunt down. already replaced the banana arms, Abbey motorsport thought it could the drops links which they swapped out and no change. I'm left thinking its a shock or strut mount. So ideally someone who has swapped out their stock suspension. Can collect from within london. If you didnt want to sell a loan would be great and i could leave a deposit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMetal Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I'd have thought it's a bush on the control arm (if that's what it's called I always forget) the shocks are testable by pressing on the car but worn shocks shouldn't bump they just don't restrict the movement as designed.

bowzi Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've got a pair of shocks off a 67k HR. Been replacing various on my front end to solve similar knocking noise, new shocks made no difference :/ but if it's something you wanna check out? 60 bucks plus postage?

ZMANALEX Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Preowned front shocks in stock and good to go same/next day, however very rarely do they give any problems. Have you checked the tightness of the top mount nuts/bolts and the centre nut? The usual culprits are: Compression rod ball joints Compression rod bushings Drop links. Front upright lower ball joints Top wishbone ball joints. All parts are in stock if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some in my garage that were absolutely fine, I simply went lower n got struts n springs upgraded at same time. P.s. to reply to your message should I click on 'quote' or 'add to this topic'? ...not very good at this forum lark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
