06 Hawkeye suspension knock
posted this in the suspension forum but it's very quiet in there. Anyone help?
ok so I'll start by saying I'm a technical type guy so go easy,
I lowered my Hawkey wagon on Eibachs about 2 months after new (06). months later the nocking from the front end when on rough ground started. When the car was in for it's 1st year service I was told the drop links were goosed and replaced under warranty.
6 months passed until the noise started again. so It would look like they have gone again. Is this a known soft part ? and if so it there a more hard wearing part that I can replace the OEM part with ?

Had the rear struts replaced 1 month ago then front ones done yesterday.
Seems to be ok now.
Watch this space.....................................
Sounds like a common problem.
