Title: Why are my Top Mounts still knocking?!
Post by: 18Edition30 on October 03, 2015, 08:46:10 pm

Basically, changed my top mounts for new genuine items, the bearings and the mounts.

And they are still knocking when going lock to lock, you can feel them knocking/moving when someone moves the wheel lock to lock.

Currently on standard shocks with eibach lowering springs

What's causing this?

Can't be two faulty bearing sets?

Also had console bushes changed and a rack in the past few weeks.

Is it something else causing them to move/knock?

Thanks, any ideas appreciated!

It's probably not the top mounts that's knocking check arb - drop links -subframe bolts etc

It's definitely the top mounts knocking/moving, if you hold your hand on them you can feel it if someone else moves the wheel lock to lock.

Checked ARB, ball joints, subframe etc etc, still there!

Confused and annoyed!

Same issue.. Replaced my knackered top mounts in July with brand new ones from pedders as I've got pedders coilovers. One side is still clunking its tits off and knocking away  :fighting:
