That looks spot on, will be after an MR like this if I decide to sell my 6, what's the knocking noise all about then?

Thankyou :)

Thought it was yours

Bikes are a right buzz but a death trap! Tried riding my mates cbr600 other day. Don't think I got past 2nd gear! lol I didn't want to break it for him. Not too good on a bike!

I had my VIII a few months and a knocking noise started when going round right had bends or roundabouts. Spoke with a master tech at Mitsubishi garage and was told the 7s,8s and 9s are bad for front struts knocking. I changed mine and put Tein coilovers on and suprise suprise the knocking went away. But supose at the end of the day it could be a bush or a drop link thats causing your knocking.

Hope this is of some help to you Lynsey ;)

I'm taking her back t the garage one day this week. Might ask them t change a couple of things, see if that helps, if not, might be a suspension change
Done bit of investigating and i'm pretty sure it is Apex suspension that is on the car
Hopefully, she will be all fixed soon :)

Thankyou for your help :)

Yeah fingers crossed you get to the bottom of the problem cause when mine was knocking it was doing my head in.

Kind of a funny story with mine cause I took it to a local garage I had been going to for years and years. They checked it on the ramp and couldn't fine the problem. They let the ramp down but they hadn't put the handbrake on and low and behold it rolled backwards off the ramp and into a wall!
There was just over £2000 worth of damage to it. They paid to get it fixed and it's as good as new now.

I only had it 3 months when it happened. Ended up needing a new bootlid and back bumper.Spoiler and offside rear quarter had to get painted aswell.

Apart from the knocking noise are you happy with your baby? :)

Is the knocking noise only when turning or driving straight aswell?

Bless :( Did they get it fixed straight away for you?

Yeah, love her to pieces :)

Seems to only happen going straight if i go over a bump in the road, other than that, its just when turning

Got it fixed about 2 weeks after it was damaged. The bodyshop had it nearly 2 weeks cause they wanted it perfect and didn't want to rush it.

It it when your turning both ways?
