Title: Noise under the car!!
Post by: Hurdy on January 28, 2009, 12:17:20 am

Went to JBS today to look for an annoying noise coming from under the drivers front side of the car.

Some people thought it was the Milltek, but it wasn't

I thought it may have been the ARB bracket again, but it wasn't

Chaps at JBS spotted it almost straight away. At the top of the damper body there is a fastener where the shaft exits and joins the top mount of the car frame. The fastener had worked loose and so whenever I made a turn I got the noise from under the car. Half an hour after having the car in, it was fixed and back out again.  :happy2:

Now for the not so good news. The guys at JBS say they have seen three Eibach Pro Street S coilovers do this in the same fashion and were considering phoning them up about the issue.
Be aware...... :scared:

What kind of noise?  A bang, a knock or a squeek?
