Post #1
When I bought my 6 last week I was told that the ball joint needed replacing as theres a knock on the n/s front, he had the part already so I put it on along with doing the brakes. Put it all back together and the knocks still there. I've only noticed it going over rough roads and worse over pot holes.I understand it could be the p bushes, droplink, top mount. In which order would I start checking/replacing these as to not spend more money on un-needed parts? Cheers |

Drop link if it makes a kind of "boing" noise.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Ok i'll change the drop link first then. Would any of those cause a vibration/shaking right down the side of the car when doing about 60 or above? The suspension has been lowered a lot ( I do plan on raising it again) if that makes a difference |
