I need help as Im stuck! recently the suspension on the passenger side rear has started knocking, mainly on rough roads at slow speeds

My car is lowered and the coilovers (rear springs & shockers) were brand new 6 months ago, its the past couple of months that ive started noticing it

So far ive replaced the rear shocker mounts, anti roll bar bushes & drop links. ive checked all nuts & bolts etc and they are all tight

Just wondered if anyone has experienced something that was slightly out of the ordinary that they could share with me?

Im tempted on putting the original springs & shocks on to test it again if no one has any ideas

Cheers

Mike
 
Springs sat on the pads properly? I had same from the front where they hadnt put the springs on the pads properly so it shifted when turning or on bumps. Reseating it fixed it.

The springs are sat on the pads correctly, Ive had them out about 3 or 4 times trying different things

Yea ive checked the exhaust & everything all looks ok, where does the bracket usualy snap?? I wonder if its on its way out :?
 
Anything loose in the battery box? :lol:

nope, I stripped everything out of the boot including all the trims to elimate them lol I enev got driven about a bit while i was in the bot looking for the noise & its defiantly suspension of outside the car

Ive spent alot of time messing about so far, think is going to be a garage jobby :(
 
While more messing about, you could swap the shocks over see if it swaps sides to eliminate the shocks.

yea I found out what the fault was, one of the spax shockers were causing it, I swapped it for the standard one & the noise went!
happy in a way, but now i need to e-mail spax & see if they will repair & replace the shocker
