Knocking on acceleration/braking...

[Rob]

Hoped it would just the balljoint bolts being loose, but it's not.

I can replicate the knocking by grabbing the wheel at 12 and 6, there's a fair bit of movement.... top mounts?

 

[charlesk]

Movement at the bottom or top?
Could be top mounts or even the shocks, need to see where the play/movement comes from...

Is there movement at 3 and 9 too?

 

[Rob]

Nothing at 3 and 9, balljoints are pretty damn new, as are track rod ends.

I can literally get the wheel at 6 and 12 and clunk it back and forth by hand though.

what suspension you running?

 

[Tony Hunter]

what suspension you running?

My question also

 

[Rob]

FK Silverline X coilovers, always been the same.

Standard top mounts.

 

[Dan519]

check for play in the shock.

 

[Rob]

By doing?? I really want to do it without unbolting the shock as I really CBA to have my tracking done AGAIN.

 

[Rob]

So, this is still here too.

It's not a good month for ph1.

 

[Scrooge]

Ffs i've just seen this thread too! So what you're saying is you can grab the wheel towards you?

 

[Rob]

LOL, stalking me with knowledge, awesome.

I can grab the wheel at 12 and 6 when jacked up and wobble it.

 

[Scrooge]

Right to me that sounds like wheel bearing failure, but by wobble do you mean the hand at 12 can push forward and the hand at 6 can be pulled towards you and visa versa or can both hand be pulled back and forth simultaneously(sp?)

 

[Dan519]

i still say shited coilovers

 

[Rob]

It rocks back and forth on the 6 and 12, not coming all the way in and out and both sides.

Danny (or employee (sorry I can't remember your name)) why would my coilies be dead?? Not like they're cheap nasty ones.

 

[Dan519]

Potholes? just old generally? Price isn't really a factor in reliability to be honest, I see more buggered H&R's than anything else and they're £££

 

[Rob]

LOL.

I hope that it's just this bearing, but if it's not, I hope it's this bearing and a dodgy shaft. I refuse to stump up more pointless f**king £££ for coilovers I don't want or need.
