Knocking Noise

(1/3) > >>

Cooper:
I lowered my GTI on coilovers on Friday and since then I have had a knocking noise coming from the front drivers side when on full lock, anybody got any ideas what this might be?

A friend said it may be to do with the front drop links as on the mk4's when lowering on coilovers these had to be replaced, however I have never heard anyone say this is required for the mk5?

Going to have a look at it tonight to make sure that everything is as tight as it should be, after all my mate who fitted them did forget to nip the bolts up on that wheel when he had finished  :surprised: and that started to make a knocking noise itself, but just wondered if anyone had any suggestions?

Thanks :happy2:

WhiteGTI:
The drop-links have been known to go on the MK5 as well, a few members on here have experienced the same problem!

Cooper:
Ok, will definitley have a look at those.

Any ideas as to how much I will be looking at for a fix?

WhiteGTI:
Not too sure chief. MAT ED30 has good knowledge on this subject I think  :smiley:

RedRobin:
....

Yes, I've had a knocking after coilovers and replaced the drop link and anti-roll bar brackets.

It might be steering rack related.
