[knock of nigel]

9 - 3 play in the wheel drivers side when jacked up , its like a clonk ,knock sound wiggling it side to side but no play in the passenger side what could this be ,, track rod ?????????? anyone cheers. also should the top mount plate under the bonnet with the nut on top twist around by hand the whole thing plate and nut top off shock that comes through the nut , I've tried to tighten it but its tight and still spins round if it makes sense .

I could turn my old top mount by hand on my last Vec, and also this one.

Not sure about 9-3 plat someone will soon tell you.

i don't think its meant to do this as it doesn't do it on the other side its solid.

with out the car in front of me its hard to say you need some one to grab the wishbone as its poss track rod thats worn normal on a vec easy to do or the drop link from the anti roll bar yet again easy to do

Depends how you park- I noticed that if you park on the flat, they'll both do it, but park on side higher than the other, and the side that sits up won't turn so easily.

To be honest, even if they're not supposed to turn (which I think they are)- it won't do any harm.

If you take the entire shock off, and study how it's put together, you'll see that it really doesn't matter.

ANymoRe Ideas PLease

[Tom]

Long shot, but something else worth investigating- take your discs back off as I know you've put new ones on there recently. Check for any crap behind them as that could be the cause of it also.

Do you get any vibrations when driving etc?

[knock of nigel]

no vibrations as of yet with these wheels on as i did with my old wheels on , not been down the A1m yet , I'm just wondering if this has got anything think to do that clunk i get through the steering and pedals when driving it

[Tom]

Could be- Could be the track control arm?

Although I'd probably try replacing the track rod ends first, and possibly drop links. They're pretty cheap anyway, but means you need to get the tracking done again after, that's where you'll get stung with ££'s
