stockers 1 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 hi all, update on this problem.when pulling away i can hear a creaking noise from the front left, and now i can tell that that side of the car is depressing or dropping lower than the other on cornering and in general driving.the coilovers are new and have been checked that they are the same height.any thoughts? cheers Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 checked your lower suspension arm bushes? mine had totally gone and ride was horrendous and ride height was uneven where the bush had actually fell through the arm. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 you will probably need to get it on a ramp if you cant see under your car mine were literally fallin out, so it was quite visible to the untrained eye. Link to post Share on other sites

bazz780 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 does that explain why your car was dipping? Link to post Share on other sites
stockers 1 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 not the dipping , but i was chatting on to paul and we decided that cars are never going to be perfectly level on all corners. theres proberbly only about 2 or 3mm in it but as its sitting quite low thats the side that hits the arch. but i'll have someone have a look round it anyway to see if there is a problem with somehting.its been on a ramp a few weeks back and i asked the guy to have a bit of a nose round underneath and he didn't find anything wrong, also the coilies were fitted only a month or so ago at stealth and if anyone's gonna spot a problem under there i think they would i'm proberbly just being a bit paranoid!
