Fabia vrs knocking suspension

[willmagrath]

hi, as in title, my fabia's suspension knocks. it doesnt effect steering or handling in any way but is just annoying. Have bought new drop links as i think this might be the problem. Any wizards of the suspension world out there that agree with me??

anti roll bar links are very common pull the roll bar up and down with the car on the floor and see if it knocks it dont always show up if the car is jacked up !

yeah that's the part i bought, may change them anyway to see if it makes any difference

Alternatively, if you have a friend at an MOT station get them to give it a good shake on their test ramp!

There's some plastic sleeves on the ARB bushes on some of the earlier models that degrades causing a knock.

...or the rear wishbone bushes are a common problem. I upgraded to the solid rubber ones from the Ibiza Cupra (will fit your fabia also) and it made the car feel much sharper. Plus, being solid rubber they should fail like the standard ones did as easily.
