new Eibachs are clunking when I hit bumps

Featured Replies

evening all, 

 

I have just had a set of eibach springs fitted to my 2010 octavia vrs, on the drive home there is a clunking coming from the front every time I hit a bump in the road.

 

Is this then springs hitting the  shocks due to the 30mm drop or is it a case of they havnt been fitted correctly???

 

Any help appreciated please, I will be going back to garage anyway to get it fixed.

Interested in the outcome of this, keep us posted,

Likely to be the suspension hitting the Bump Stops if they have not been shortened

ok, took the car back the next day......

 

 

they took the drop links off and put them back on and I took the car for a test drive, no knocks.

 

I said what was the issue then?? the reply was I think they were just settling in :x 

 

my reply..... having had 4 cars lowered I have never had any issues such as this, I think that you forgot to tighten the bolts up in the first place!!!

 

no never that would'nt happen.

 

make your own minds up, mines is made up and I wont be back to the garage that I have used for the last 4 years
