chazza Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Starting to wonder if this is the part i need... I fitted Tein springs last Saturday, on Monday i start getting a knocking noise from the front near side...sounds like something is loose ....the guys that set the car up (wheel alignment) Friday just passed tell me its the suspension top mount...car has covered 50k miles But one opinion already questions this...anybody else had this experience?

chazza Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Fitted the replacement top mounts...thanks again to Alex Mechanic told me that the front near side lower ball joint has worn too...guess i replace both sides? Common problem? Just as a note, amazed how different the car drives after replacing the front top mounts! Car has covered 50k miles, i've had it for 15 months and it drives better now than ever! Nowhere near as harsh on bumpy roads...esp being an early import. So anybody thinking of fitting lowering spring should look into replacing the mounts if you've got similar or more mileage. Ive got Tein springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
