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?

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.

It'll be the top mounts if it's when your turning onto full lock, either that or your springs are binding and clunking as they twist. More likely be the topmounts though.
