Hmm, still got rattles and clunks.... :(

So,

When i got bonk, following what i read here, i started into giving the suspension a bit of an over haul.

I replaced the top mounts on both front shocks, replaced the track rod ends and bottom ball joints, replaced the front srpings (one of them was broken) and plopped a new KYB gas shock in the back (someone had replaced one ONLY with a KYB item after an MOT advisory, so i matched the other side) and i finally got some of the top washers made up to remove THAT knock (thanks Dad). These were made to Fred's exact spec.

This was only back in July and back then, it removed so much noise and play it was unreal yet lately, i have noticed the suspension in the front (i think) being a wee bit clunky and knocky over certain surfaces....

Is there something else i should look at or that anyone knows of?

Its a bit annoying after the effort and wonga i have thrown at it.

Cheers

What size bolt ball joints did you buy? 10mm or 12mm?

Hmm, now.....ok.......

I dont know

LOL

The first ones i bought fould the ABS rings so NWPerformance took them back.

The supplied ones that looked exactly the same as the old ones. Didnt measure the diameter though tbh.

They seemed fairly snug fitting in the bottom holes like. (i.e. a bit of battering to get them in the last few mm)
