Coilovers/anti roll bar !

Post by BenGTI »

Well I recently fitted coilovers to my 6n2 gti. Since fitted there has been a slight knocking coming from the front. The coilovers are not wound right down but seem to be contacting the anti roll bar. Just wondering if any one has had the same problem? If so is there a remedy other than raising up the coilovers?

Cheers , Ben

I know this was asked a while ago but i had a similar problem. Mainly due to the coilover setup being quite soft when your running low. I wrapped a bit of heat wrap round the point of contact on the arb but may look into grinding out a groove in the arb itself.

Hey joe yeah since I posted this I recently found the solution. Remove the arb all together. Problem solved. Has no effect on handling. I had to replace 2 wishbones as the arb had nackered the bushes. So off it came and had been great since.
