Okay, so tonight on the ramp Took out b14 shocks, and replaced with stock, and then made a real effort to ensure the springs sat correctly in the rubber bottoms, putting back the Bilstein adjusters at the top. Also, swapped the springs over, as one of the springs is actually slightly more...

The first thing I asked myself was do I need them to be height adjustable. For me that was a no which made the decision easier. Im in Leeds, and have a great mechanic here. But I’d rather take the drive down there to someone who does this day in day out and get it spot on first time.

If only it could be so simple as to ascertain why so many people running B14’s get knocking on the front end! Took mine back to THQ, got fobbed off to a different company who they claim they now sub that work out to, who then equally fobbed me off saying nothing wrong and greased the top mounts...

So I thought I would give some feedback on the KW version 3 suspension for the T32 as I found very little information on this setup when I was looking about. Following on from the issues I experienced with the B14 Komforts I purchased and subsequently returned due to knocking at the rear...

Mine is still knocking. Had the top mounts greased but it made no difference. Sounds to me as though it is the right side top mount. Was gonna get it changed and see what that does.

Just to defend the cost of B14's against Vanslams. The reason I went down the Bilstein route was simply because there's virtually no reported issues, against the Vanslams that are often reported as knocking etc. I agree they are expensive, but I'm hoping the quality and lack of problems, and...

TransportersRus are knocking out these VanSlam kits for 692.99 Fitted. I can't give an opinion though I'm afraid, I chose the Bilstein B14 kit

@DaveyB mate you know there is a bloke sat on your van.. ?.

I'm not an expert when it comes to fitting B14's but I am aware of the fitting processes, and don't see any reason a CV joint or drive shaft would be touched during a suspension installation. You are able to remove the front legs without disturbing the the drive shafts if it's anything like...

Well here's a thread I didn't think i'd be updating :eek: So, the last few days i've had a knocking noise at the rear of my T6. After jacking it up and investigating, I found both of my rear B14 springs were broken on the bottom coils, which explained why my van had become very stiff and a lot...

I'm sure it will be sorted, they fitted my b14's too. It just doesn't help me for today! It seems to be missing the hexagonal inset off the inside of the near side unit!

The guy who used to fit them for THQ left at Christmas (think to Audi). The garage is on the same estate as before. I went back in January to go lower on the B14s this is how I found out. I know they have an agreement for that garage to fit the kit. THQ don’t have garage facilities. Did you...

I got hitch top mounts replaced on my b14 lowered t32 and hadn't solved the problem, still waiting for someone else to have the issues. What's yours doing daveyb? I was convinced mine was top mounts as could feel it knocking too..

Hi DaveyB, just about to book my candy white lwb t32 for the Hilo scenic. Did you opt for a white gel roof, I feel I have to go for the black as the two whites will be massively obvious.

Thanks, I only ask as I have a knocking at low/parking speeds when nearly full lock, I have b14's about 10mm left had them for 1200 miles and nothing then one day when it got really cold get this, although I did swap back to standard suspension for 2 weeks and was ok and now swapped back got...

I wonder how many people have had issues with the bilstein shocks? I recently had issue after fitting brand b14 based shocks on rear, knocking like mad from both sides! Could hear it obviously from both sides when sat in the back. Checked everything was tight etc; still knocking! Swapped back to...

I too have been reading through old threads and seems to be mixed views.I have had cheaper coil over before and wanted to avoid any knocking issues. Seems even with b14 fitted few people having issues so not sure what route to take .

I've got H&R 40mm drop and I'm not impressed. Seem to knock like hell. I'm looking at going eibach 50mm drop myself. I also can't afford the B14's

No knocking with my B14s and H&R bars. Covered roughly 6000 miles on the combo now.

The other thing worthy of note, that I didn’t post up previously, is that this is the new Aluminium product! I heard at CamperMart that Hilo were just starting to do an aluminium version. Clearly the benefits of ally over steel are down to the weight. I seized on it as soon as I heard about it...
