My Esc Cos has seemed to of developed a proper pain in the backside problem! When driving there is a knocking noise over any bumps on both sides of the car @ the front (Worse on the drivers side). It appears the drivers side suspension has dropped lower than the passenger side??
Also, when turning left @ around 70mph+ and you give it some throttle the whole car shakes to shyte? and when braking the car also shakes... Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this?
It has:
Polybushes
Adjustable TCA's
Bilstein Coilovers
The problem just seems to keep getting worse and worse! We've raised the suspension on the adjustable cups which more or less cured it for a month and we've tightened everything underneath up. I haven't got anytime to investigate it myself at present, so if anyone kows anyone decent/hopefully local to me then it would be appreciated!
Cheers for any help...

Could be worth checking out the bushes on either the suspension tops or the actual bearings inside the coilovers.
Checked for any play in the TCA rose joints yet ?
They are the 2 I would start with first

Ive got a sneaky suspision (Sp??) its something on the coilovers, as in shocks or springs! She's now booked into SCC this week for checking out as I aint really got the time atm to rip the car to bits and find out
Hopefully they will find the problem and sort it or I can take it back home if parts are not available on the day and sort it myself
Will post results after she's been check out
Cheers for the info Nuts

Cheers BBal, Ive was thinking of Zoo, but need me Cos setup and the lifters changed too, so gonna get it all done on the same day hopefully. 4 of my cam caps have started to thread, so SCC's gonna helicoil them and sort the lifters. Would prefer it all done before setting up so I dont knock the timing out at all! It would of taken me till Friday atleast to sort the cam caps as I dont have the helicoil tools and my engineering company normally take a week to come out! So it makes sense to get it all checked out on the same day

Once its all sorted I will need the cambers, etc setup so she may go to Zoo or similier anyway

deff update this, once you get your car back from zoo and they have checked it over. Have the the same problem i think. I get a klonking niose evertime i hit a bump, more on drivers side, sounds like the same thing. and a knock/creaking noise when i turn the wheel left....
So be good to hear back from you. My car is due to go into Groves soon to detect this, but may help if i can give them some indication...
