Lowered Issues?

Featured Replies

Hi

Just lowered my Fabia VRS on coilovers, there's about a finger gap inbetweener all archs now. For rough idea on height.

Fitted shortened drop links but when I drop full lock there's a like ding noise? As if steering rack it knocking something? It's not wheels hitting arch.

Also on a big bump you hear a knock from front? And generally strange knocking noise, will that he the ARB hitting? Or are my wishbone bushes gone?

Any advice. Thanks.

Bump ttt

ARB bushes?

Also on my old coilovers as I wasnt really low the springs actually hit together when going over sharp bumps, you can get some tubing to wrap around the springs to dampen the noise

My coilovers are all the way down, low as they can go.. So won't be banging together?

Check driveshaft clearance to subframe.

I'll check that tomorrow, and more ideas?

Buy a 2012 Briskoda.net Calendar. It won't solve you're knocking problem but it will look nice on your wall/desk :thumbup:

, and more ideas?

Don't lower a car from manufactures spec . ?

ARB imo

Mines probably a touch lower, it tucks tyres all round and the thing that i hear knocking all the time is the driveshaft on the chassis leg, drivers side, because of longer shaft. turn the wheel full lock right and look, try and see if theres like a silvery band around the driveshaft directly below the leg.

Solution:

Chassis notch ;)

Changes my cambelt last night, so had a good look. Your correct! Driveshaft is being ate by wishbone, nice round ring on it... Chassis notch it is then!
