« on: March 24, 2023, 06:00:21 pm »
I had the infamous subframe creak about 2 years ago, fitted the 034motorsport collar kit and it was fine till a couple days ago and it’s now back :(
Any suggestions appreciated

Creaks are usually bushes.....my poly bushes on the wishbones were my recent issue until silicone greased again.

the subframe would make a popping or knock sound in my experience.

Yeas that’s what a mine like a popping noise. It’s 100% the subframe again

Did you use new bolts at the time, as they are stretch one time use.

Yes everything done correctly and as I said been fine for almost 2 years so it’s an odd one

Odd.  I suppose get under the car and check for loose bolts and anything out of place.
