Coilovers making clunking sound?

[jagjot]

I have vw polo 1.6 16v gti, MKV, year 2000.

I recently changed my shocks to FK coilovers. bought from ebay - seconds. For some reason when I turn steering right or left it makes clunking sound.

Sounds like springs from front coilovers. I also notices top of springs have no rubbers its just aluminium plate and the springs. thins might be the problem??

any ideas?

Apparently it was none of the above. It was strut bearings. Now I am changing the bearings over the weekend.

Any one know which are the best bearings?

Another issue I cannot use my old strut bearings. FK coil over are not wide (diameter wise).

So, I need to get the fK ones.

Ive never seen coilover that need a specific top mount. Normally they come with a plate that allows them to fit the factory mount

You are right.

I called FK supplier and he said it sound like my top struts bearings. I will try changing it over the weekend..

Thank you...

Guess what guys. I managed to open the coil overs and there are no bearings in the strut.. I bough them new from vw dealership in £37 for 2. requesting money for bearings back from the ebay seller. hoping it will get resolved in a positive fashion.
