Chances are it won't

You could always take it back for a "check up" after you have done the job :wink:

No worries, either way i would reccomend to any D owner that you replace the 6 bushings with this kit. Worth every penny.

Sounds like a plan. It can wait till after eurotec now though :wink:

Hi Dan,

I had a clangy twang for a month or so after changing my front springs, until they settled in.

If you've recently worked on the suspension, as long as it all looks ok (springs seated correctly etc) you may want to wait awhile and see if it cures itself before spending more cash.

However I do agree with the rest of the guys, those bushes are a must if your running on the originals.

Best Regards
D

I havn't touched my springs. The euro height ones were fitted a few years ago when Dave owned my car so had plenty of time to settle :wink: It does have the original bushes by the looks of things so they are coming out after eurotec

Anyone experienced this or may know what this is?????
Cheers

sorry kelvin just saw this post on here i also had the same sort of knocking noise when i went round the corner hard .but at the time i was trying to hit the mother in law in fifth gear although i think it was more of a splatting sound when i finally hit the cow.

[dmckelv12]

Hee hee, i take it the said in-law isn't on this forum then????

Seriously though, I would also check and make sure the jack/tools have been secured in the front compartment as i have been advised before.

[Dan6457]

My jack is on the garage floor at the moment awaiting a new back when I get round to ordering one from dmch :wink:

[Dan6457]

EDIT: I mean awaiting a Bag not a back :oops:

The bushes look original so it must be them. Did you get your clunking sorted on flopsy claire? was that the arb bushings?

Jack what Jack my Jack comes in a can twist it on and spray sod the price for a new tyre think im going to change a wheel on the edge of a motorway ant going to happen.

kind regard Tyson and his can of spray

[Dan6457]

The jack is to keep things complete really. I doubt I'd ever use my spare wheel becuase its still brand new with nobbles on :wink:

My spares pretty hopless the last time i used it on the front it popped of the rim while going slowley around a corner.

Probably be better off with a car of Tyre Weld or equiv.

I'd opt for AA Relay membership, that tyre weld is just too risky
