mac79 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have a bit of a knock coming form the front end, its not constant only when a sharp jolt. It seems to be worse when i first start driving and not as bad when i have been driving for a bit and things are warm. Its not the shock it that is still stiff and no play. I dont think its ball joints i had this go on my n/a and they knocked over every bump. Should i start by changing the droplinks or the roll bar bushes first or maybe look at something else? Any advice is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Get it on a ramp and check the drop links, arb bushes and torque up all the sub frame bolts would be where i'd start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac79 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I dont have the abilty to get on a ramp. i was thinking about taking somewhere to get them to have a look as it would be easier on a proper ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac79 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) If anyone does know anyone i can take it to tomorrow morning that would be a help. I have been pricing up some powerflex bushes and they say for my car but they have different mm size. my car is a j spec TT.

Dnk Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 My local village garage will happily check it out for you, they used to look after my Supra, i know the owner Simon very well, did all manner of jobs on her for me including when we changed all the suspension arms. If thats any use they're in Earlswood not far from Solihull J4 on the M42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The garage is called ACO motors, you'd need to speak to Simon first, just tell him dunk told you to give him a call and explain what you need doing. http://www.acomotors.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
