upon a little inspection today... i noticed the top of the suspension seems to have very much movement once the car has been jacked up.
even when the wheel is on the ground under the cars weight... there is still movement & a little knocking sound when i move the wheel about.
from what i can see aswell... the wheels / suspension assembly seems to have forward /reverse movement, so im damn sure this will also be happening when the car is in motion/cornering!!!

i have stripped down the full front end suspension (minus steering rack/linkages).
obvioulsy something is on tigh enough, or has even broken somewhow? i'm pretty shure it will be my negligence no doubt!

anyways, back to the spec of the suspension...
g-max shox, lowering springs (30-40mm, cant remembere which), lowering top mounts, powerflex bushes, supa flex bushes, group buy front ARB mounts (mixture of metal & green plastic looking material).
ok, so now you know the specs of the suspension.... any ideas as to where i have gone wrong?
whats the solution to this?
could it be the top mounts are not suitable???
but the other side seems to be fine!!!
im thinking that possibly i may not have tightened up the special VW style threaded nut that secures the top mount to the shocker thread (if that makes sense, lol).
thoughts & opinions please...
many thanx everyone.
Pete.
