Lowered 172 knocking?

[Dimmock197]

Hi all,

I have lowered my 172 on ktec coilovers. It's not majorly low at all and has hardly any camber but ever since I put them on when I accelerate hard there's a knocking from the front left (sounds like driveshaft?)

Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this and knows how I can fix?

Thanks in advance

did you replace the top mounts with the new suspension?

Yeah I changed them for pms solid ones

Coilovers new or used?

Only thing is to check over all joints etc for play then, or loose bolt

Or its the cv joint as you mention on the shaft

Yeah I'll double check. I did fit them myself so I could have not tightened something fully.

Bare with me because I already think this idea is stupid but is it possible that lowering it and having slight camber could pull the driveshaft slightly out? I mean it's literally hardly noticeable camber so I doubt it but didn't know if that's possible
