Another sound diagnosing thread...

Post by phunkydude »

What could be the culprit of knocking sounds whenever there is vertical travels on the suspension?

No sounds when cornering or flat road, only loud knocks when pot hole, bumps, or even slight ditch'

Droplinks? or could there be others?

Thanks!

Yeah, I kind of generalised with just saying 'shocks'.

Meanwhile, Gen Y'd thread.
Install the drop links you have ordered, if that doesnt fix it, then go to the next thing...

Tie rods typically for steering feel rather than vertical noise, but depends how bad they are.
A quick visual inspection of the rubbers will indicate.
If the rubbers look 'ok' then no vertical noise.
That is not to say however they're can't be.

TLDR for the Gen Y.
Replace the drop links you've ordered.

He has coilovers.

The droplinks will fix.
