I installed Tanabe DF210s a couple days ago and I'm getting an issue with knocking.

I'm getting a knock on the drivers side front, and it *seems* to be centered around the sway bar (I think that's what it is - the bar with the boot that connects to the upper portion of the strut) - right at the point of connect.

Any ideas what could be causing it/how to fix it?

Trying to avoid bringing it in, but I'm getting the feeling its inevitable.

 

knocking, it could be a loose bolt, sometimes I hear squeeking when I go over bumps and things on my GF210s but that is just the spring or shock..

 

knocking like this is about 98% some bolts aren't tight enough. I would triple check every bolt before you do anything drastic.

 

My DF-210's have given me no problem at all, probably installation error on your part

 

Something is loose. If you didn't do the work then bring it back to whoever did and explain that you would like to get the suspension checked. If it is an installation problem on their part you should demand to have it done for free. If there is something wrong outside of the installation then the bill will fall on you. Good luck.

 

hmm....is it while just normal driving or hard driving. did u cut the bump stops? tanabe instructions says cut it from 15-25mm's. I cut mine 20 and have never hit them so i'm assuming they were cut perfect.
