vr6highline28 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 ... just had eibach springs and koni shocks fitted .... handling is now great but there is an intermittent knocking noise coming from the rear of the car now .... the noise is most noticeable when I decelerate to a stop, though the knocking noise stops when i gently apply the brakes .... ive jacked the car up to look for anything that's obviously loose but can't find anything .... any ideas (car is back at garage tomorrow but am trying to understand whats wrong) ? cheers.

Ciaran 4 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 may be ur exhaust banging due to the fact ur springs are stiffer and therefore making the exhaust move more than it did before!like the combo of springs and shocks exactly what i have!! ur konis damp adjusstable aswell?

purple highline monster 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 my exhaust knocked at 3000 rpm when i lowered my car, it was the middle "T" hanger causing the problem, slight adjustment and its fine now Link to post Share on other sites

bazz780 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 i had a similar problem, it turned out that one of the shocks were faulty from start, tried everything else i.e exhaust etc and all along i ruled out the possibility of a faulty new part Link to post Share on other sites
vr6highline28 0 Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 hadnt even thought of it being a knocking exhaust - hope its as simple as that as want to get to E38 in it !!! Link to post Share on other sites
vr6highline28 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 thanks for the comments ..... it ended up being the wheel bearings which went (no doubt due to stiffer suspension ....... should be able to make it to E38 now !!! cheers Link to post Share on other sites
