Glanza_cl Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 have you got lowing springs on? might just be a foobed shock. you checked the top mounts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Checked the top mounts are nice and tight?Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rox Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 the car is fitted with JIC magic coilovers with adjustable top mounts all round?the top mouths have a large nut in the center and samller bolts around the outer which would i ned to tighten? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 ah i see, well it would be the nuts/bolts holding the adjustable top mount to the struts on the car.There should be three each side.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BAZ2CRAZY Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Put the standard shocks and springs on?You shouldnt really have it on, it will only cause further damage.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 ah i see, well it would be the nuts/bolts holding the adjustable top mount to the struts on the car.There should be three each side.Mitchits the massive one in the middle normally, not the ones that hold it to the chassis.
