paulio252 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi,I have lowered the Lupo by 60mm front and back..... On lowering springs (Student Budget)..... When I steer during parking etc so under 5mph I get a horrific knocking 'dunt'. It happens on both sides and believe it to be something to do with the suspension towers.Can anyone shed any light on the problem?Thanks,Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fretwell Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I get this , I'm sure it's the exhaust knocking on the spare wheel tank underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Did you put the top mounts back on properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Bone94 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 If you go lock to lock with steering and you hear a clunk then your springs may not be seated properly or as said above your top mounts not on properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulio252 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 No, don't really know what I'd be looking for in all honesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Loose things, jack the front up and spin the wheels with your hands, listen for noises.May be worth taking it to a garage if this isn't your forte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fretwell Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Mine passed the mot a few days ago so nothing is loose I'm sure it's the exhaust ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
