bradders, the comment about the weather conditions is so true lol! Yeah i dont think the standard suspension is the best, its embarassing when you have people in the car and it is squeaking/clunking/rattling/banging. Hopefully i will at some point get some lowering springs on some decent shocks and the ride will be much improved
I am sick of this now!

yeah. its very embarrassing. haha. Never want to get "adventurous" in that car. if you get me. everyone in a 6 mile radius would here us i think
I know, well one day i will hopefully be qualified and be able to afford a leon fr or something with lots of grunt! and no bloody creaks and rattles!haha yeah same. i have a subaru impreza sti 2ltr turbo. hopefully i will still have it when i am able to get insured for a decent price. would love a lean cupra. guy in work has one. what else you got planned for this car
Not going to spend too much on this car, going to do the aluminium vent surrounds, gear lever surround, cupra handbrake cover, stubby aerial, vinyl behind front registration plate. Simple and tastleful mods. What age are you to have a car like that (Subaru)?
lol i tototally understand the feeling speed bumps are slowly killing my car i learnt my lesson the first time i snapped a spring but now i take them easy and i still break bits front rear wish bone bush gone!
u want me to get my bro to give it a look over, probs justs needs new wishbone bushes or antiroll bar bushes, common problems mate.....he'll look at it for free and if he knows the problem you can decide if you want him to do the work, hes decently priced. up too you. drop me a PM and al get in touch with him, your local anyways.
Oh hes a time served seat mechanic.....also worked with audi VW aswell

I had these noises when I had crap coilovers, but it wasn't there on standard suspension, or my new AP Coilovers and I used the same droplinks for all of them?
Yep, had the problem for about the last 3 years, took the car back to the dealers where I bought the car, not once but around 30 times (and no i'm not making it up) over 3 years and had loads of parts inspected and replaced (bushes, steering rack, pipework, suspension, ARB to name a few) all to no avail, all I managed to do was be without my car for days on end and have to drive around in a bog basic courtesy car while mine was basically sat there for a few hours while the "mechanics" stood there scratching their heads.
Mine has recently had the wishbone bushes and top mounts replaced and it clunks. The clunk is due to not having an ARB drop link fitted on one side. Since your near me, your welcome to come out in the car and see if its the same clunk. But I'd put money on it being your drop links. I've replaced the passenger drop link twice in 5 years due to it.
depends on your definition of loud. Plus I don't drive my car at the moment so it's not irritating me. What u doing tonight? I'll take u a drive in it and u can hear
Just thought that i would update you all interested that my car has been sorted at last! Turns out the engine mount was faulty causing the knocking sound i was getting. Would like to thank all of you that made suggestions as to what it would be,
Cheers

Thanks for the update, that's very useful to know. Which one out of interest? The dog bone or one of the other ones?
