Hey guys, I have a 2008 Spec B wagon and I recently noticed a knocking/clicking from the front left of the car but its very intermittent and I'm totally unsure if its the bilstein that's giving out or the wheel bearing so I was wondering if anyone would know or could help me out.a96e18f36cb176f9837bf45c4ab0be82.jpg

3 things, 2 are more likely.

 

Bilstein, control arm bush or bearing.

 

Its not very likely to be a bearing.

 

Can you describe where and when you get the clunk?

To be honest it occurs at random times and it doesn't always repeat itself if you repeat the movement that made it click/clunk previously hence why im stumped

Whip the rubber cover off the top of the strut and try push up and down repeatedly with the weight being pushed on the strut tower whilst holding the struts top nut. One of mine has a heap of movement and the other none at all.

And does this tell me if its the shock or not?

If its movement there then its wear on the top hat, whip that nut off and stick a washer in (make sure you have weight on that corner when you do) should sort it out.

Had a similar knock, only occured at low speeds (or at least was noticeable then) while going over cracks or small bumps. Turned out one of the swaybar links had a fair bit of play (Cusco ffs), luckily 2as under warranty and got my ? back.. 

 

Check the links are nice and tight, check there's no play at sway bar bush mounts.

I had the same problem. Took the rubber top cap off the top of the strut, tightened the nut a half turn until tight, no more knock. Have heard it can also be sway bar end links. Good luck

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
