Default Knocking

Hi guys,

Just looking for a bit of advice please.

Since fitting new eibach springs on my newage WRX I have developed a knocking noise on the front right. The noise is there when going over big bumps such as speed bumps etc not when driving on normal roads etc.

I have had the car up on lifts and none of the bushes seem to be worn however I have noticed the top mount does have a slight crack in it would this cause a knock?

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance

what year wrx? if not fitted correctly the cup hole can become worn and cause knocking or wear due to lack of grease with inverted struts. When my sti struts were taken off the cup on one of the front struts had become bigger due to movement and i had to buy a new one.

It's a 54 plate 2005. Thing is the knocking was there as soon as fitted the shocks didn't develop over time
