After a motorway trip, i noticed the passenger side suspension to make knocking noises for the slightest of bumps in the road.. thought the shock maybe gone so under the 3 year warranty hottuning say they will send me new front set up (havent recieved yet) however drove this to work today (only 1.5 miles each way) and the noise was so bad i felt like pulling over and walking the rest of the way.. came home and opened the hood to find that the top nut of the suspension has moved quite a bit and grinded away at the metal;

Passenger side;







Drivers side which looks like its far out of position aswell



Im thinking the problme is my top mounts but im no expert. Posted a topic on here other day about adjusting the negatvie camber i have on my front wheels and someone mentined fk top mounts i think.. is this the answer to my probelsm? if so does anyone have a link to them because i googled them and al i got was fk coilovers with top mounts for £1044

id really appreciate any help here.. thanks guys

dont know if it effects anything but i should probably add that the cars been sitting on hottuning coilovers for year and a half with the fronts wound all the way down for about 2 months now.. helper spring still in.

Bloody hell. Yes that will be your top mounts completely shot to pieces. I wouldn't even drive that to the garage

Will be fun explaining that when it comes to MOT time..

I wouldnt drive it anywhere get the old rac/aa to take it to the garage.

yh i dont plan to drive it, just waiting for hottuning to send me the new coilovers, mite aswell replaced it all at one go if im going to.. so am i correct in thinking to get the seat ibiza cupra top mount and bearing? i got the part numbers from ekta.. hope this works out

there all having a laff theres nothing wrong with it, take it on a trip to france if u like

Joke!

it is your top mounts sort it out asap dont drive around, does look cool tho
