Clarkie Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 take the trim over the top bolts and see if they pop out the top when you put the cars wait on the wheels, just a thought if the top isnt done properly it will be knocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonboy Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Panic over I loosened the wheel nuts in-order to take the wheels off. but when the car was in the air i didn't take them off, done the job dropped the car back down forgetting i had loosened them! = loose wheels thus the knocking Wheel nuts all tight 5mm spacers in place jobs a gooden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonboy Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 how much did it cost to get the tracking and camber sorted?£65 not bad as the camber was well out and i thought i had it sorted. Somehow the tracking was to the left on both wheels. This was the reason i got it checked, as the steering wheel was to the right going in a straight line Didn't know i would change the tracking when doing the struts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
