They is so much pressure on them it's so easy for them to come loose. Exactly the same happened to me and yes it sounded like a knocking noise.
Just tighten them and it should solve it.

No worries, very unlikely to be anything else if you have only touched them.

Nuts needed tightning up as they were not very tight, just that it said on box not to tighten them which confused me
Thanks for everyones help

#28: Re: do shocks have to settle in? Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 1:22 pm ---- over tighten i guess.
can cause the bush to damage very easily
#29: Re: do shocks have to settle in? Author: Ste, Location: Hull -or- The World Of Info CodePosted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 1:26 pm ---- Let's hope he tightened them with the car on the floor and not up in the air, otherwise it may be a case of early bush death soon to come o.O
Speaking of which, I still have a set of 180 shocks sat under my bed that I havent yet fitted lol!
#30: Re: do shocks have to settle in? Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 1:30 pm ---- I thought I had tightened mine but they rattled a fair bit so put quite a lot of pressure on them and have been fine ever since
