Yeah, I have a major knock coming from my right front. I pulled the left front sway bar link out tonight, and the ball joints are loose as... These are ther ones that came with my FK coil overs. I just wish I knew were I put my Mondeo ones, as I haven't seen them since I moved from Townsville.

I sorted my knock out. It was a loose strut top bearing. Check that before buying more links? The ball joints are supposed to be loose-ish to move around. My FK ones do and they don't knock

So though trial and error, I found that my drop links weren't the problem on my car... I have checked the tightness on all the nuts and bolts, so I think the problem is the strut top mounts...

to change the tops, yes. If you know what you're doing it and have the right tools it wont take you that long

Yeah yeah, rub it in... Mind you, I only changed them out last year...

Yeah, mine are not happy, seems to be the weakest link with coilovers after updating the control arm bushes.

They're not expensive from the UK, anyone seen aftermarket options in this area for the Polo?
