As above when i accelerate, and hit boost, front end lifts up, then knocks as it comes back down when i go to change gear, sorry its not very detailed but bit hard to explain hah, any ideas people? Was wondering if worn top mounts would cause this?? Cheers bill

Engine or gear box mounts maybe?

Engine/gearbox mounts, track rod ends, tca balljoints, anti roll bar... just check everything suspension wise really

Changed gear box mounts and engine mounts, changed track rod ends, changed lower arms too, not changed anti roll bar mounts though
Cheers bill

My cabrio gets very light on the front end under hard acceleration, I would like to reduce this.

Got a new set of coil springs to fit, think I'm gonna have to poly bush it too

turbobill

Oh does it? Mine lifts up, then when it drops down again it knocks, starting to run out of ideas as i changed quiet a few things now, haha

Front shocks?

No knocking on mine though.

Was going to check that simon
Studabear, oh right okay, its the knock that made me think it was top mounts

Too much Boost!!!

A side effect of just short of 300bhp at the fly, only running 14.5psi lol

Atleast were not the only ones suffering...

I would say soft shocks ,have a push on the front panel, does it go down easy

Is your tracking out.this can cause front end to lift up.

Thanks for your help people, turned out for some reason one of my new gearbox mounts had snapped, so all fixed now, cheers

studabear

Thats a good result then.
