Suspension Spring Knock

Afternoon,

It really aint my day today....

There is a knock coming from the NSR suspension, which i have only noticed today.

After some investigation, it is the spring knocking against the top part of the suspension which is attached to the chassis. It does it when you touch it when the weight is taken off the wheel.

It only does it on this wheel. I assume that the top is not attached to allow the spring to dislocate from the suspension giving greater articulation.

I'm more than happy to wang a jubilee clip round it to hold it together, but how come it dont do it on the other 3??

Try measuring the height of it compared to the one on the other side, and check the top or bottom hasn't snapped off and made it shorter! I've seen that happen.

Failing that try hitting the speed bumps slower so the wheels don't leave the ground so much ;-)
