Re: I suffered similar problems Re: [doc] Car lowered! Only one problem

[Thomas Mc Auley <dmc4087@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That must be the problem James because when my car was undergoing surgery at Paul O'Malleys he told me he done some work on the steering rack (tightening the pre-tensioners?)
 
I will have to call him up later....the owners over here are having a meetup next weekend, and we will be driving a few hundred miles. Must get it fixed before then!
 
Thanks!

Thomas,

I had a bad clunking sound comming from the front when I changed my 
springs, it turned out that the lowering of the car had accentuated 
some play I had in the steering rack.

It was a horrible knocking sound comming from the front whenever I 
went over the slighteset lump or bump.

Luckly I removed a shim from the steering rack, to take out the 
play, and it removed the knocking sound completley.
