Hi all,

Knocking suspension I've had for a while is getting worse. Tied it down to the left hand front. Nearly every time I pull off now I get a clunk clunk sound. Not when I go over bumps or anything just when I pull off. So I read somewhere about the topmounts being loose. Tonight gone to the topmounts of my HKS hypermax and with a spanner tried to tighten or loosen the nut in the centre of the topmount...see pic...what happened was the entire thread turned aswell on both sides with the nut as if it were 1 complete unit. Is this correct ?

Cheers

your probably just adjusting the damper.

check more for a bush that is totally gone, so when you change forces on it it goes from one end of the hole to the other rather than staying where it is supposed to be stuck. probably a lower arm etc.

Well thanks for the replies guys :thumbsup: will have a look at the allen key bolts but am probably just gonna change the topmounts for some cusco ones as long as I get the right ones to fit the hipermax....

Odd question I know but off the top of your heads anyone know the diameter of the springs on HKS hiermax coilovers?

Cheers

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
