forsh21 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi,i'm currently getting alot of banging noise's from the front end of my car, i've changed the ARB bushes and i've done the wishbone bushes and its still the same so i'm gessing thats not the problem. So i'm thinking it maybe something to do with my coilovers, do they have top mounts like the standard suspension does and can these be replaced or does anyone know what it could be? The coilovers have been on the car now for over 5 years.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macus Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 id say top mounts if the coilovers have been on the car for a while the top mounts will probably be taking a bashing as well as bushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forsh21 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Are they just normal top mounts or are they different because there coilovers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Should be the same top mounts as original.I want to change mine at some time, as I have been working through the car and they are next on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_M Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I am going original myself unless you want to adjust camber etc then get the Kam Racing ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forsh21 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Do you think that's what will be causing the front end to bang around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Worn top mounts do make noise when worn.If you have changed everything else that is all I can think of unless you have a shot damper or broken spring...............bounce test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudaz Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 anti roll bar?? dunno if this would make such a bad noise though, ive just changed my bushes these are next and then top mounts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I'd say either new top mounts or you haven't done something up tight enough when you were changing other parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forsh21 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 i've changed the ARB Bushes & Wishbone Bushes so it must be the top mounts, if i jack the car up and lift the wheel up and down do you think i should be able to hear the noise?

treblet Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Probably not unless it's absolutely wrecked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
