Post by: jhook661 on January 15, 2016, 06:28:22 pm

Hi guys
I have a knock when accelerating from stationary one clonk that's it and not every time either
Its done this since I've changed to
Super pro anti lift kit
Super pro adjustable ball joints
Super pro wishbones
 s3 hubs
Brand new drive shaft
New wheel bearings
S3 brakes
 all brand new parts were used not 2nd hand £££££
I've checked everything is tight also I've had the subframe shims installed too
Anyone had this  :sick:
