Basically I am on my 4x4 Saff and occassionally get a strange knocking sound usually from the right front wheel/suspension. Usually it does it round left turns regardless of speed and sometimes whilst turning and going over small bumps in the road.
I've had a good look round it and spoken to a few people who know their RS's and basically have drawn a blank. I therefore wondered if anybody has the same/similar set ups and any problems you may have had.
I'm now wondering if 35mm is too low??
Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Paul

Have you tried it with standard wheels to see if it makes the noise.
May be wheels scrubbing on inside as struts will be close.

Good idea though. I'll see if I can borrow a set for a day or two to test your theory. I'm pretty sure it didn't before I put the wheels on as the suspension and lowering was done a few weeks before the wheels went on.
Thanks
