Hi guys - looking for a bit of advice with my newly purchased Clio 182.
I bought it from a member on here and in the ad and during sale @matty1995 mentioned that there was the odd knock from one of the front dampers.
I've been tinkering and had the car jacked up looking around and looking at the dampers etc. What I noticed was that it appears as though the knocking is coming from the top mount solid bearings. They're moving up and down within the bearing cup.
Anyone know if this is a 'feature' of the top mount ?
Are the bearings tapered so they'll nip up ?
Im also wondering if they're fitted correctly and whether they need tightening up ?
They're both doing it and I'd be surprised if they are goosed as they were only fitted this year.
Anyone have any experi nice with them?
