glow plugs +controller swirl flap blanks and drop links

Post by majordamage069 » Sun Aug 04, 2019 11:02 pm

hi guys,
just had a busy weekend doing all above (never again am getting old and used basic tool on drive). so hopefully all set for mot and winter. a bugger to get to controller and glow plugs came out ok(phew)

issue is I changed the drop links again as i did them last year, to eliminate the knocking i get from front.i have change top wishbone, thrust arm and the other one strut sits on(it late can remember its name). the other month still get knocking any ideas ?????????? local garages ive taken it too have no idea says possible drop links hence i changed them again.
I noticed that when i removed drop link the roll bar arm had some freeplay , i have active suspension and active steering, is this normal or possible cause of knocking? or with it been hydraulic freeplay goes when engine started and there is pressure. anyone know how it works.
many thanks paul
