having taken my AVO coilovers off to get sorted for sale etc i've fitted some temporary GMAX ( :red: ) -35mm Spring and shock set,
since fitting them im having a few problems...
they drive fine, and look fine,
but when i drive slowly and turning sharply (i.e. parking) i hear a very loud twang noise...happens from the fronts, on both sides....
what have i done wrong?
never had this problem with any of my previous set ups can't understand it...
anyone else had the same?
andy

have you made sure you have seated the springs in correctly, as this happened to me
