suspension

I have very annoing clunking noise in my Formentor from day one. Dealer said this is normal working suspension noises, but I finally identified it. It is 100% coming form shock absorbers. It is very easy to identify, just disconnect the DCC plug from the shock absorbers. The car is now...

Hi all The coil spring on my 2016 Ibiza Cupra has snapped on the drivers side and, having contacted SEAT for a replacement part (as my local mechanic could not order from their supplier), SEAT have given an excuse about the part being manufactured in Russia and, because of the war etc, they...

Hi Folks Does anyone have/could get info on the front hub nut tightening sequence & torque settings for an Ibiza 2016 1.2 TSi (6P5 CJZC). I am about to replace wheel bearing hub. I have been searching various forums & workshop manuals, all with conflicting/confusing results. Thanks in advanced...

Hi all, Apologies if this gets a bit wordy but I'm looking for a bit of advice to try and diagnose a strange stability issue. My car is a Leon Cupra 300 manual (2018, 44k miles). I've had the car a couple months after previously coming from a 7.5 GTI. Initially the car seemed fine, however now...

Just wondering if anyone else is hearing a loud clunk from their front suspension when going over ramps or hitting a pothole? It only seems to be on the passenger side and was windering is there anyone out there having the same issue?

Hello guys I recently purchased and installed Bilstein B14’s on my FR & the car has been properly levelled & aligned etc. But for some reason the drivers side front sits 10mmish lower than the passenger side, and the drivers side rear sits 10/15mm higher than the passenger rear?! Has anyone...

i put a set of coilovers in my leon, and the front looks great but the back still sits a bit high for me i’ve seen people on facebook say shortened shocks will drop it more but from what i know i thought it’s only springs that determine ride height anyone have any experience with this?

Hey, Could anyone who has their car lowered link me what coilovers or springs they have? If you have a photo of how it looks at whatever height you have your car too that would be useful for reference! Thanks

Hi I have seen an Ibiza sport 2008 1.4 BXW engine and its great condition and great price with low milage. The only issue I have is with it being a sport version that the sport suspension might be too stiff as a commuter car. Is it safe to swap all the suspension to standard suspension...

(cupra 180) what have i done wrong here? surely this cant be how they are meant to sit? recently installed Stance+ coilovers and thought id install powerflex top mounts at the same time.. the cup is sitting on top of the bushing rather than inside like i assume its meant to? thanks for any help...

I had some issues finding help on this when I was doing it so I took the time to photograph what I did to write this guide and hopefully help others who attempt it. Disclaimer: I am not a professional mechanic, just a enthusiast who likes to have a go myself. Follow this advice at your own...

Hi, I’m after a rear anti roll bar for a Leon Mk1 /1M chassis - not fussed on make, white line, EIBACH, H&R as long as it’s 23mm+ in size. Thanks!!!

Hello, I am currently in a big dilemma about lowering my leon. I currently want to lower my ride height about ~30mm and i was thinking about buying a coilover set. But the issue is that the FR came with quite a stiff suspension from the factory already and i am thinking if coilovers are going...

Hey all, Just a quick one from your friendly sponsor, we've been gathering lot's of feedback from our Leon Cupra customers about what their favourite and best 'bang for buck' first mods have been, here's the article we've written up on the subject with a bit of insight into how each part affects...

Exeo ST 143 2012 Since new to me at 6000 miles the steering/suspension is clunky or lumpy when manoeuvring at low speeds and at near full lock. It happens occasionally when parking in a tight space. Typically this shows as a noisy thumping from the front wheels. Six years and 125,000 miles...

Hi all, Had the 290 SC running on lowered springs for 3 years now (from new) and as I’m intending on buying the car when the balloon payment comes up next month I’m thinking of putting the original springs back on. I don’t think I can continue with the absolutely awful comfort anymore (maybe...

Hi all, I've got a 2015 Leon FR, earlier today after going over a few smallish pot holes I noticed that there was a faint repetitive knocking sound/feeling coming from the left hand side. This only seems to be noticeable between 30 & 40mph. The car drives straight and doesn't pull to either...

Hi, I have recently purchased a MY10 Ibiza fr 2.0tdi Long story short, bought it blind with mods. Coilovers that came are joms (budget) knocking from NSF AND NSR. Just replaced with oem front and rear shocks and second hand H&R lowering springs. Here’s the problem the oem shocks and H&Rs came...
