Creaky suspension

[Pigeon142]

Had my car lowered using koni str.t kit the car handles well since but since day one, at or close to full lock i get a creaking from the front which is more prominent when going over slightly rough ground or lip of a dropped kerb.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Ibiza FR 1.8t (Koni Str.T 30mm drop)

Anti roll bar bushes or drop links...

Do you mean they need replacing? Car has only done 14000 miles?

 

[Ad Lav]

More than likely the drop links, when it was lowered did you cut out the bit in the arch where the drop links go?

They sit lower now so probably knock on the plastic when turning...

I have no idea will take it back to the garage that did it and ask if they did or not.

Should this have been done?

 

[Ad Lav]

Technically yes, if they know about suspension... it drops everything 30mm lower...

Had car back today he tells me there is nothing wrong with it. He told me it could be the drive shaft???

Just wanted to say thanks to Ad Lav. Took car to back street garage I used to use told him what you said bout drop links and he has found the problem going in next week for fix. Shoddy job by Aldon Auto it would appear!
