#1: Lowered the front... Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 8:36 am ---- I lowered the front of the 206 today on Bilstein shocks and 40mm lowering springs.
Doing slow manoeuvres there is a little bit of knocking coming off full lock. But not all the time.
While driving it's fine, no knocking at all. Any ideas? Or is it just settling in?

#3: Re: Lowered the front... Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 8:43 am ---- I didn't do the top mounts, the car is low milage I was hoping they would be ok. However, I have considered they could be what's knocking. Droplinks were done last year.
