another coilover problem...

Post by MW »

Ok here goes...

there is a knocking on the passenger side, but when im drivining on perfectly flat round its fine... its at its worst at slow speeds and lots of wheel tunring (ie 3 point turn)

But its not my wheels rubbing because i checked :)

yup, i also suffer from this horrible horrible noise. it is indeed as chewy says, the driveshaft knocking on the arb. Shortened droplinks should sort the problem, but i have replaced the droplinks twice with shorter ones each time and the noise is still there, just less often.

Could also be ARB bushes going. I have this on mine. Only when slow in tight parking maneuvers.
