Finally solved the knocking front sus

[Craig]

i have finally solved the knocking front suspension problem after putting up with it for a month after lowering, i tried the "how to guide" as simo knows and
had no joy whats so ever, but took it to the garage and they said that it was the passenger side linkage arm,

which links to the anti-roll bars

so the problem is solved smileys/smiley20.gif smileys/happy.gif

24.95 for part and they fit it while my car was in for its servicing

and i go to my local garage not a dealership, which my local garage are citroen and pug specialists, its the same garage i got it lowered at

If the wishbone mounting bolts are secure, the knocking could be caused by a damaged lower balljoint, an excessively worn anti-roll bar link rod (drop link), loose strut-top mounting bolts (13mm), a damaged driveshaft, a worn wheel bearing or one of many other less common faults...

So, it was the drop link then... heard a few peeps having this problem in the past, but to look at them, there is only the elbow joints, which could wear?

Glad its sorted though smileys/smiley2.gif

all though they did mention that if i went any lower than 50mm it could have been the driveshaft, because the lower you go apparantley it puts alot more strain on the driveshaft
