Hi everyone, I fitted coilovers to my car at the weekend and everything was fine until last night when it started making a knocking noise over bumps, the drop links seem to be fine and I used my old top bushes which were replaced last year. Does Anyone know what could be the problem?
Cheers Ryan.

Ino its a daft question, You sure your got them as tight as they were? Sounds like there moving when your going over bumps tbh, jack it up and see if there's any play in the engine where the bolts are Smile

Recheck the droplinks, mine always needed a second tighten after changing. More then likely the wishbone though,

as mentioned check droplinks mine rattled a day after fitting, they needed 1/8th a turn and all was healed

not sure how you check the wishbone is gone or not as my whole front end knocked over bumps so changed the lot

drop links is more of a rattle over uneven road
