Out of curiosity, how many people who have changed from standard suspension to Leda suspension have noticed knocking from the near side rear?

 

Yup

Sometimes from o/s/r as well

It does go if warm enough, but it never gets warm enough until summertime!

(Or track day)

 

There seems to be 2 main reasons:
One of them seems to be be the fact the oil is heavier under cooler conditions - see previous posts from Pete Croney (thanks Pete),
and secondly that there is a major issue with top mounts.

We have been working really hard on this recently, as it seems to be the crux of the problem, both with OE and after market products.
We have tried installing our emulsified units (which are working really well), changing our oil, updating our plating, and the one thing that still seems to be the problem is the top mounts.
We are modifying the ones we have as we speak, and hope to have this long and on-going problem sorted as soon as you do.

when do u think u will have different top mounts.i have a my99/00 and was goint to switch to coilovers but dont want any rattles or clonks

 

The rattles aint that bad to be honest (less than Ford dashboard)

In the summer its quiet after a few corners.

 

Hol, I can only say my n/s/r has been rebuilt lots of times and it still rattles like a gooden all the time, cold or warmed up.
