Knocking Sound on full lock...
« on: May 10, 2011, 11:35:56 pm »
Okay, so finally drop the ride on coilies.. 50mm drop all round.. Currently running 18" BBS RXII's 8.5J on 215/40/18's..

Noticed a day later once the music was tuned down thats theres a slight juddering/ knocking sound coming from the front only on full knock at very low speeds... anyone got any idea what it can be?

I must admit, since the cars been lowered and rims put on, it hasnt been taken in for alignment  :ashamed:

The car is a 2007 FSI, it knocks on both sides on full lock...?

Knocking sound is due to worn Top mount bearings! Quite common on cars that have had their suspension lowered..

Shud hopefully be sorted soon
