 Topic: E32 frontend knocking
Posted: 10-June-2005 at 07:28 |
As per subject heading, knocking/klonking over bumps,
can also be felt through the steering wheel at times, probable
culprit?
I haven't seen underneath yet, so I've no idea whats
under there.
Backend is sagging due to the LPG kit the ride and
handling's OK, so I'd like to drop the frontend to match rather than fit spring
assisters to the rear, what are the options for lowering
springs?

Oh it's yourself so it is, your allergic to spanners
anyway chap.
This M30 doesn't growl like a 827 at low revs does it,
makes quite nice noises though (if you ignore the tappets).

Cheers chap I've got the link to that site saved somewhere, forgot all about it :)
What would Euro car parts or GSF call a swing support?
Only had a very quick look at the pictures (I'm at work), think I'll have to go and have a look at the car itself and see what the deal is under there.
I'm doing quite well with this one, one week with a broken toy and no rolling on the floor yet.
Oh just had a looksee anti-roll bar drop link, that's big bugger usually just goes to the lower arm, I must have a proper looksee at the suspension on this thing.
