Vanilla_Rice Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) My r32 GTS4 makes a clunking noise when I corner hard ever since I lowered it, what exactly is making the noise? I know that CV joints make that noise when their on their way out, but the noise goes away when I put my standard shocks back in. So clearly the lowered shocks/springs are to blame. Want to have a go at a track day soon and cant take her out in this condition. edit: I suppose I should mention, I almost always drive the car in 2wd, Is it possible its related to the 4wd driveshafts/ CV boot's sitting at an angle they're not designed for?

1802NV Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 maybe its too low and bottoming out on hard corners? not sure if 2wd/4wd would be a problem.

neo32 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 if ur car is lower the driveshafts controll arms are more on angle so the cv could be sitting further out making the noise when it loads up thats how i blew cv joint on my old honda up over a massive speed bump when the car loads up the cv slides out so only minimal shaft is in so noisy and most likely to break Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/269999-lowered-car-hear-clunking-noise-when-i-corner-hard/#findComment-4597302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla_Rice Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 damn, and I suppose raising the car is my only feesable option to fix this?
