delboy Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 i have noticed on the ka i have that the rear suspension inside the boot is not bolted down fully to the car body. the top mounting is about 1/4 of an inch off the car body. i have tried tightening it down but it's fully tightend can i undo the nut & screw down the threaded pice it screws onto to get it lower to get the bolt to go down tighter to the body work ? any help would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 hi does it feel loose or make any knocking sound. Are both sides like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 hidoes it feel loose or make any knocking sound. Are both sides like this? both are like it & i looked at the front ones & they are the same they seem to be ok but it looks odd to me i think it's the way they should be but i want to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyt002 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 sounds like that the top mount rubbers ( on the underside of the stur top) have seen their day, it happend on my polo, the fronts were about 1/4 inch from the top, i replaced the machpherson strut top rubbers and theyre fine now, the fronts usually have bearings in them so these may be worn aswell.
