Ok so i've still got a knocking noise on my car when i start it up and drive away, it only lasts for about a hundred yards or so then disappears
So far i've had
- the front control arm rear bushes replaced L & R as the passenger side was split
- New top mounts L & R and replaced a knackered bearing on passenger side
The car is lowered about 40mm on KW V1's and didn't have this knocking with the standard suspension fitted, the suspension has been looked at and there are no visible cracks, leaks or broken seals and every bolt underneath the car has been checked and double checked again......
The knocking is gradually getting worse as a few months ago it would only do it if i left the car over night or after my 8 hour shift at work but now it does it after leaving the car for about 10 minutes.
Just after any advice from anybody whose had this problem themselves or something similar and can suggest something to be looked at and maybe fixed or ruled out, I know Hali on here had a similar problem with AP coilovers fitted on his GTI and the knocking was less if he raised it to stock height and went when he fitted my old standard suspension
Any suggestions welcome as its driving me nuts and costing a fair few quid in trial and error and workshop labour
Thanks
