Front suspension - Tyronnster - 20-04-2013
Looking for help
Fitted new struts to my car yesterday however the rest cup seems to move when turning
Think it is number 2 on this pic

Any help
Thinking of just whipping the springs on my spare shocks/strut
Cheers

It should move....
RE: Front suspension - Tyronnster - 20-04-2013
Well it kinda clonks when doing a full turn but it has -30mm lowering spring on
Sorry sounding numb never changed struts before
RE: Front suspension - Toms306 - 20-04-2013
Did you replace the top mount bearing? Is the spring seated in its groove correctly?
RE: Front suspension - Tyronnster - 20-04-2013
No i never changed them thought would wing it but caught out lol, Going to have a look

Clunk when you turn normally indicates the spring isn't seated properly in either the top mount or strut.

Haha.....did you end up with BBs everywhere? Still keep finding those buggers on my drive and it was like 6 months ago when I changed them!
And no problem, I can be helpful occasionally.
