#9: Re: do shocks have to settle in? Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 3:50 pm ---- Ive never heard of shocks knocking till they settle in mate. Ive know springs settle in and drop slightly but not shocks.
Id definately get the nuts/bolts checked for tightness, and the only other thing that comes to mind is that there is a worn bush or a knackered beam really.

Yeah just like that but also on flat
Dont think i did the nuts very tight, just tight so you cant loosen by hand
#12: Re: do shocks have to settle in? Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 4:15 pm ---- right is it the rarb that is inside the rear suspension or something like tht ???
#13: Re: do shocks have to settle in? Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 4:16 pm ---- did you not got a torque wrench?

#15: Re: do shocks have to settle in? Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 4:22 pm ---- im pretty sure that the rear anti roll bar is inside the rear suspension and if it is then that needs tightning. This is what happend to mine when i got it lowerd. Tightend them up and it was fine
