|
Hey,
Just replaced stabiliser arm (rubber)and trailing arm bushes (nolethane) and i'm getting a knocking noise from the rear left when i turn right!??
I've had a look and nothing seems to be touching anything else where it shouldn't (i.e wheel)
Any ideas?
I need to fix it soon to get my canary off!!! |

from experience i can only suggest re-tourquing every bolt and nut, not just what you replaced, including wheel nuts! check your diff oil, make sure the bushes and springs are sitting correctly and also play in your axles.

try going to pedders or some suspension ppl, i had some knocking from the front suspension, and wot u do is u act like a dumb cunt looking for quotes 2 fix ure car, they write on the quote and price and wot needs to be done, and u go to wreckers and do it ureself. i changed the rack and pinion, upper ball joints, and got 2 new gas shocks for $32 while i was at it, and is all good now.
