ok when i reverse off the driveway i hear a loud kinda bang coming from the left rear just before the front left tyre hits the road (so no noise when the rear tyre comes down off the bump, but theres one when the front comes down off the bump). its an rb, lowered a good amount all round, only 14 inch wheels and no its not bottoming out or the noise is not it scraping along the ground. any thoughts on what it is?

cheers,
justin

Jack it up, grab some spanners and start tightening, then spray everything with spray lube, whatever is loose is what probably made the noise. Ive seen this done more than once while I worked at Holden, it is quicker than trying to figure out what is wrong as well.

cheers simon, will do. theyre still stock shocks on the back so if it is that, its a good excuse to get some decent ones under there

May be a broken spring or you might have a severely fucked panhard rod bushing.
