Maybe banana arm bush??

[Marti350z]

Hello peeps..

So I managed to blag my Christmas present off the missis early this year!!

Coilovers

After installing them I am now getting a clunk/rattle from the passenger side, almost as if something is going to fall off, at first I thought of the banana arm but thought I would replace the drop links as they looked abit old and crusty tbh.. The knock is still there, the only thing is, I had no noise before hand and now I do, is there a way that installing the coilovers has killed off whatever was left of the banana arm bush, or should I be looking elsewhere??

Cheers

Faulty coil over or fitment error perhaps, just retrace your steps to eliminate this.

 

Lose lower coil over fixing bolt is a favourite.

 

If compression bush failure then that will be obvious, however the compression rod ball joint can knock without any obvious sign of wear.

Coilover is perfect mate been over and over it haha. When you say it would be obvious what do you mean? It's almost like a rattle other than a knock, but is definitely suspension related as can hear it when bouncing the car like..

If you can replicate the noise when bouncing then just get some one under the car when you bounce it so they can trace the noise.

Of all the things it could be, i will certainly be stabbing in the dark.

but when i fitted a set before i had a knocking when going over small bumps, etc. turned out i didnt tightening the top mount properly so the initial compression was made my metalic contact first

 

As above, get a mate with you. shold be easily traceable

When I did mine, I'd knocked a metal cover at the back of the disc. made a horrible scraping noise

was that obvious until the car was up on a ramp, the cover was touching the back of the brake disc
