hey guys, i got a problem with my suspension. i got a coil-over set up (cusco) but it seems to be making knocking noises from all for shocks ? and its a very uncomfortable ride !! Have all 4 shocks are siezed ? Do i need new shocks ? can these shocks be reconditioned?, if so wat would u recommend beside another coil-over setup ? koni, whitline, bilstein ? i only have $1200 to spend.

thanks.

if they are solid top mount the noise could be the spherical bearings that run between the shock shaft and the hat. guaranteed to rattle and knock like mad when they're worn.

they dont leak oil, What do u think i should do?

suspenshion places say that my shocks are siezed, so im guessing that i have to recondition it if possible or replace it with a new set.

thanks.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
