Good Job Teki. Glad to see that all is sorted now.

On a similar topic, my car is at Centreline suspension getting lowered as we speak with pedders springs. Pics later...

Mine got done yesterday.... you will be happy with it! i will post pics in another thread in about 5 mins


EDIT: The reason why i know it was to do with the spring is because i lowered the car and the sound is gone... weird

Yep I suspected as much, occured on mine during fast spring compression. Good to see we have possible narrowed it down.

Well... its been 1 week and no sound of the knocking (which was ALWAYS there)... so im guessing it was to do with the springs... or maybe the springs not being tightened properly. Whatever it was, its gone now.

All i have to be careful for are those MASSIVE pot holes...

Could just be normal wear and tear..... Squeaks are NOT covered by warranty anyways, so no need to worry.... even if you had not lowered the car and a squeak developed... too bad!
