My problem persists with my suspension. I have a 2003 Volkswagen Golf GTI VR6. Last winter I installed a set of Raceland Ultimo coilovers. Recently I had a bad knocking sound coming from the front struts. Turns out my upper strut mounts were worn out. I replaced them and the problem stopped for about a week.
Then, it came back. Not being able to figure out the problem, I take it to my mechanic which replaced the lower strut pinch bolts for me and torqued them down to spec, to no avail. Turns out.. my two front coilovers are sinking through the lower knuckles where they clamp in. They've ripped through my cv boots, with grease every where.
Literally nothing we're doing is stopping them from sinking. It's as if the knuckle is not tightening down strong enough to hold the lower part of the coilover in place. What do I do? I'm so lost.
Basically depressing me considering its my only car and can't afford to get a daily or anything of that sort.
