Squeaky Coilovers

[leedsboy]

Hi all,

Bought some second hand KW V1's not long back and had them fitted for a while now but ever since they were fitted there's been a squeak from the front end when going over bumps, turning at slow speeds etc.

Could this be that the top mounts are knackered? We did notice that the bearing in the mounts was properly rough. Could be them?

Thanks

If it helps they didn't squeak when I had them fitted!

Was going to message you and ask but I'm sure it isn't the Coilovers themselves.

Might not cure the squeak,but change them if they are rough.
Get the original configuration one`s off eBay or from a motor factor.
The modified Renault kits are er,problematical is one way of putting it.

Should have done it when fitting the coilovers really but I just thought meh can't make that much difference. Now I don't want to replace them as I've just had alignment done and I'm too tight to pay for it doing again haha.
