Suspension Clonk

Any issues relating to suspension, steering and brakes.

RE: Suspension Kits? Who make for calibra 4x4 Turbo?

Having had performance -40mm shocks and springs fitted, I went onto standard springs and kept the shocks. After this, a clonk set in from the rear drivers side shock / spring.

Thought that rear springs bedding in to the set up, and have covered around 800 miles on them. It not so bad, but passengers or luggage cause it to clonk.

Any ideas what it could be anyone?

Thanks.

usually the shock.
some sports shocks are designed to run on shorter suspension springs, maybe your running them too high, maybe they're just worn and now that they're running in a different position than before its becom audible.

If they're old shocks try replacing it, if they're not, then they probably just need the lower springs..

Stu. They're brand new shocks. They're Gmax shocks, and had Gmax springs for a day. The car was too low, so I had standard springs put on.

Any idea if the car will be okay, for a couple of months as is? I really have no money left after all this chopping and changing, to get it sorted out.

The car is used daily, so I can't experiment.
