[RESOLVED] Stance+ Proline coilovers knocking

[Collins411]

Hi I’ve just got these for my t5 2007 t32
I’ve got a banging noise from the left shock when I go over speed bumps with a little bit of speed otherwise not bad to drive just feel very hard,

Also had new t6 top mounts and drop links

Received my proline kit yesterday and yes preload of front spring should be 15-20mm.

Hi,
mine are fine, no banging or rubbing at all. If you are getting noises then would get it checked out, could be ball joints/tie rod ends etc. I split one tie rod end boot whilst changing front strut so changed the tie rod at same time to prevent any knocking,

There are quite a few Stance specialist fitters in UK so you should be able to drop into your local filter for checking I’m sure.
Cheers Ben

Ye I’m getting a bang in the front left shock when going over speeds bumps, think I need to cheek the preload again the garage said they set it all properly? Had new top mounts and drop links fitted and had no problems beforehand so hope it’s nothing big

If it’s only the front left you get the noise on then have a quick comparison with the front right, if the springs look like they are about the same then I don’t think that will be the issue. I’m sure a decent mechanic will be able to diagnose the issue so long as they can hear it.
