Hi guys,

i changed the standard springs on 02 wrx bugeye for lowering springs and since doing it the front near side has started knocking.

I took the near side shock off again today just to c if the was something noticable wrong with it but could find anything. took it apart and put it back together again and then stuck it back on the car. drive down the road and still the same.

Its as if it only does it on small bump.

Any thoughts welcome.

Cheers

Ade

No 1 have any ideas????

 

Eibach by chance???

 

Have a look under the suspension section, there are a few threads about this, it maybe the coils of the spring touching, in which case they need to be wrapped around a plastic sleeve to cure this. I have the same problem with prodrive springs but I don't really want to remove-refit the springs to solve it.

 

Just viewed your scooby and I thought I was looking at mine! .

Did the same with thing, put Apex lowering springs on and all it does is knock now. I changed the droplinks too, but still the same

 

Its only on 1 side though.
Its wouldn't b any bushes would it????

Drop links sounds right,

i had the same on my classic, a clonk when hitting low bumps/ kerbs.

dont buy them from IS, they want £30 each, for glass filled nylon ones

Demon tweaks did steel & polybushed ones for £27 for a pair

Just had a look on there web site and can't find them mate.

 

Looks like theyve stopped doing them ,

although they do have some whiteline ones at £75+


might be worth phoning them to see what they have in stock

you never know
