Just fitted rear coilovers PROBLEM

[Timi]

Hope you guys can help

I have just replaced my rear shockers and springs with avo uk coilovers. I set the ride height and made sure the bolts/nut were all tight but it knocks at the back end when driving, even going over small bumps, any ideas?

Exhaust mounts fucked? Exhaust knocking on the rear beam?

I know this from experience :dapprove:

rear shocks shafted, Were they new?

Checked rear exhaust mount and its fine, only been on a couple of months and exhaust not knocking.

Yeh shockers are brand new, it is baffleing me

you fit all the top mounts correct and all teh bushes? I reckon no! lol

Have another look at where the exhaust bends up and over the rear beam. Check that it definately clears when the exhaust bounces up and down. I changed my rear springs as I was convinced they were causing the knocking. Turned out to be a clamp on my exhaust knocking on the beam.

Thanks for the clever comment rich

It turns out the bottom bush sleeve is too big hence the knocking.
