all
i wonder if you can be of some assistance
i recently bought a Neuspeed P Flo kit for my car and upon fitting i dropped an 8mm socket and magnetic attachment for a screw driver. I didnt think much of it and thought it would just roll out when driving.
well i wasn't sure if its stuck or not as i started to get some knocking sound when driving. happens when driving lower than 10 mph and turning tight. (normal driving at 45+ i guess doesnt put enough steering lock on to make the noise).
Even when stationary and steering the noise is apparent with a creak/knocking.
Decided to put the car on the ramps today removed the lower cover and nothing.... dug around for an hour and nothing is touching anything. decided to lowering and get my mate to steer it and i think i know what it is although i want some advise
here are some pics on what i think the culprit is
Car Jacked up
lowered car and drove home. it only make the noise slower than 10 mph and it appear when break so car body roll is forward. accel car body roll back and cornering
here is a vid of it stationary with the phone up the wheel turn the steering wheel slightly
1st up. why is the spring touching the strut this way is it normal? if so i guess this is a design fault.
2nd up. for those who have fitted spring can yout check your originals to see if they have done the same
3rd up. are we in agreeance that the cause of my noise is this spring rubbing.
thanks
