Morning,

I changed the front shocks on my neighbours HDI on Sunday with some units from a GTI6. Also changed the droplinks and all was well.

However, he is getting a strange noise coming from the front, I've had a look and can see what is making the noise but have no idea why.

When he is turning the wheel back to the left after a right turn, the spring seems to get caught and then 'ping' round an inch or so and makes a noise

anyone had anything like this before or know what it is ?

Great !!

Cheers tho Mei, just means spending all the time again in getting them off and doing the top mounts.

Whats the rough price on top mount kits these days ?

I took the old struts off as they were leaking, suppose as a stop gap I could whip off the top mounts from them and switch them.

Will it cause him any problems for the time being ?

Perfect, cheers matey

Drop link off, strut pinch bolt off, push hub down. Spring compressors on, 3 top bolts undone and pull strut out ?

Bloody heavy that way too

They are there, but last time I done it like that I was knackered after carrying engines and gearboxes onto a scrap van....my arms were in bits
