Title: Knocking from rear wheels over bumps
Post by: northyracing on December 04, 2013, 09:32:35 pm: As title says every time I go over cracks in the road etc can hear a knock from rear end it's lowered on coil overs, it didn't do it when first fitted so I knows it's not because it's too hard. Any ideas
