when is it knocking?

driveshaft on ARB knocking? if so you will need to change the drop link geometry....

you need to figure out if that's the issue first. then buy shorter drop links or find out if you can get some?

I've heard on here that mk4 golf droplinks might work, do a forum search IIRC.

i have a knocking issue which i just can't work out but, i also had the ARB knocking on the driveshaft problem aswell.
You'll be able to tell as there may be marks on the ARB/driveshafts where they are catching.
shorter droplinks would sort this problem, i got mine from Big Boys Toys.

some coilies have shorter droplinks only because the mounting point is lower - FK ones for instance.

so the effective length is the same

errr. yes they are - you'd have to go even shorter. depends if this is the knocking issue.
