Knocking from front over speed bumps

Featured Replies

Hey guys n girls.

Ok fitted coilies a couple of weeks ago, and im starting to hear knocking when going over speedbumps.

Ive had a good look around and cant see any signs of the anti roll bar hitting anything.

When the car is sitting on the ground, i can grab either front wheel and when trying to roll it back and forward, there seems to be alot of movement in the console bush. I can't hear anything when doing this but just seems like its not as stiff as it should be.

Do you think the car being lower has done somthing to the bushes, or is it because the lower wishbone is more vertical than before so maybe has more leaverage on the bush?

Any suggestions of what it could be, or have you encountered this before?

Thanks in advance.

Knocking noises over speed bumps are almost always console bushes according to the search feature, so you may well be correct, but you could also be hitting the bump stops (did you trim them or fit new ones?) or it could even be something completely unrelated that has been rattled loose by the new stiffer suspension. It could also be something in the coilovers themselves knocking.

How much have you dropped the car and what coilovers did you get?
