[BoZZa17]

Hello,

front left one has a bad knock in it when going over sharp bumps.

need to get a suspension place who knows what they are doing to take it apart and see whats wrong with it?

thanks.

Don't bother going to pedders, they're useless.

It's not in Melbourne but Chad's Off Road Setups in Geelong might be able to help you out. I'm not to sure if he's dealt with car coilovers much but he's well equipped to work on dike bike, road bike and off road buggy/car suspension.

I pulled down and serviced my own coilovers, I just had to go to him to fill them with nitrogen.

It's worth calling to see what he can do.

In North Melbourne - TruTrack

They are hella busy though, so you'll need to book in advance. If it's knocking it could just be a worn strut top if they are aftermarket and old, pretty common and cheap fix (just buy new ones).

Be prepared to pay though if it's something else... It'll get expensive pretty quick if it's rebuild and what not as you'll do both fronts at the same time etc.

There is another place out in Bayswater that is doing some interesting things on a very affordable scale (ie, just replace the lot with new stuff) that a very good friend of mine has started using (it's custom gear, but very well priced). If you need more info lemme know.

dont even bother fixing those man. i had them in my old skyline. used to chirp over bump -.-

hks hyper bin

if it costs close to 1200 then get bc instead brand new

Weigh up the cost of repair vs buying a new pair/set pretty sure replacing it will be cheaper then fixing it.

Not always as you never just rebuild the one shocker(if that's the issue). You always do the two or the 4 so the car balance is even.

and fingers crossed its just the strut top.
