ok guys taken off the uk-polos.net website
"Many probably already know.. but for those that don't...
Ford Mondeo drop links (2000-2003) fit and work perfectly on the Polo 9n3 GTI - lifting the ARB clear of the drive shafts on lowered cars..
Since I lowered using the H&R springs.. more knocks could be heard from the front.. when travelling slowly over bumpy roads....
For sure my standard drop links could have been worn.. but the Mondeo ones are slightly shorter so pulling the ARB out of the way...
Front is now much tighter.. I've been driving over all my close-by speed bumps (they are close and loads of them) ... and all over my closest typically pitted roads... not a single rattle or bang noise..
Well chuffed .. £17.70 well spent"
and the link
would lov to know mechanics thoughts on this
jmac?

Thats a great find...Has anyone been getting these knocks from the left side only, and only when the suspension is under load??

yep i've got knocking coming from the left side only. only when going really slow though. like the spring beds are moving around or something....really odd!

I had heaps of knocks and it was my control arm bushes. Maybe check them just incase.

I have been getting this from the day I put my springs in...It is relly starting to piss me off, and I thoght it was a failed ball joint(A really easy fix on these bad boys), but now that I know I am not alone, I know another route for fault finding...

are you guys all using the same sway bars? white line?

Actually, most suspension shops will have adjustable links that will fix this problem. I had mine done early in the piece -- less that $100 fitted, if I recall correctly
