It’s not meant to, one will be shaped for the near side, and the other for the off side.:whistle: In all seriousness though, i’m sure a quick call will got it resolved. TransporterHQ fitted my B14’s last year. Now getting a knocking from front struts. No quibble they told me to bring it back...

I went to bvr automotive in Stoke, not far from me which is lucky! This knocking was from the rear Daveyb which was unusual as all my knocking is from the front. It started yesterday and this morning sounded like the back end was about to fall off, wasn't far wrong as the upper bolt in the...

It seems we agree on this subject, only yesterday evening I posted in another thread about comfort etc. being very subjective (it was a lengthy post so I'm not going to replicate it all here. I understand the engineering limitations, I'm an engineer myself, I don't have the suspension specific...

Yeh me too! It isn't knocking on standard suspension so that suggests a problem with the b14's, so far bilstein not being very helpful at all! Considering they have onky done 1200 miles I would of expected better response from them esp as they are supposed to be the best and are one of the most...

as above really, I've had the fitted and did 1200 faultless miles then Started knocking from front while turning at parking speeds (nearly full lock) had them took off and left standard for two weeks and all was fine. Replaced with brand new front shocks and rest of old kit and all fine for...

Are they fitting them themselves? Only reason I ask is because when I went back to them to get them to look at my knocking B14 (which they fitted) they palmed me off to someone else on the little trading estate, claiming that they now do all their mechanicals. Not the service i’m happy with.

There is only so much travel on a shock , there fore the lower you go, the worse the ride becomes. The suspension is prone to bottom out and this is nothing to do with spring rates and the height the spring is set ! To improve ride quality and handling (at any height ) a proper well...

Had my b14's on for about 1200 miles now and just yesterday noticed a knocking from front when nearly full lock at low speeds, took it to place who fitted them (authorised bilstein dealer so do loads every year) and can't see anything obvious, anyone have any issues or heard of anything? It's a...

I've seen a number of threads suggesting B14's are the best option for lowering, ride and handling especially with h&R's. That is swaying me to go that route but there are also comments about knocking. Has the cause been identified. I find it hard to believe it's a manufacturing problem or with...

I think there have been a few isolated issues of faulty units causing some problems I know Oli @BognorMotors mentioned it at some point in the past but seems to be sorted now and replacements cured it for the ones that suffered, B14s on the whole I think are up there on quality

Where you having it looked at? I contacted TransporterHQ who fitted mine and they told me to go to someone who does some mechanic work for them. They reckoned there was nothing wrong with the B14’s and it was top mounts. They greased them and said give it a try. The knocking has not gone away...

Just back home after having H&R anti roll bars fitted. Have to say that I am very pleased with the difference that they have made. I think they've knocked the B14 ride quality back a tiny amount (really do need to drive it more to be sure) but the handling now feels very neutral. Time and more...

Interesting post. Can you link to some of these sports shocks you allude to please?

There was a problem with a batch of H&R 40mm springs last year. I got mine replaced free of charge by H&R. I'd contact the supplier and mention this.

Only ARBS, which were also done there, on a second visit, at which I also asked them to drop the back down as it wasn't level. They didn't bother doing that. I remember when the B14s were fitted that it was late finishing and I was told that they had difficulty getting something off. No other...

We’ve had a couple of isolated issues with the rear shocks knocking on T32’s and are working with Bilstein, on a cure. But on the whole they are excellent, and we fit approximately 2 sets a week. Since we started fitted the B14’s we have looked no where else, as we feel this is the best setup...

Hi mate. 50mm Eibach all the way. Just had them fitted and it looks the nuts plus handles like a dream. Feels harsh went you hit a dip in the road or a deep pot hole but as a whole I couldn't recommend highly enough!

Took Deliver of the above van and decided to go for the top of the top level coil over kit all round, the van is a 4 motion Knowing the kits are already a problem as you have to the correct kit for that van I made sure all the boxes were ticked and every thing was bound to be correct. we...

So today I spent a day at Transporter HQ to have some work done on my van. I'm lucky enough to know these guys personally and as i've worked on the owners Caravan a few times, i'm fortunate enough to be able to be trusted in the workshop when they are working on my T6, where as most customers...

I can't believe I have these issues, I've had a front knocking and spent on new top mounts to the tune of £300 fitted and still there sometimes. Now to have this on the rear, I fell like I've just had enough with the van.. wish I never bothered.
