another q on suspension

[modman]

ive been told that as mine is a 99 v40 its on a change over year for suspension so i was wondering if anyone knows how i tell if i need the late spec or early spec front suspension as im determined to work out why mytrack rod ends knock against the chassis as i go over bumps and wondered if the owner before me fitted the wrong type.

Track rod ends ? Are you sure it is not the anti-roll bar mounts slipped out of their brackets on the front subframe? Not too easy to see but using a mirror will help .

PM me you vin number and I get the info about your car for you. Chances are its the old suspension though as the change over was cars built in 2000.

No its not. The suspension was changed for all cars when the phase 2 came out. Thats why a phase 2 front bumper and wings wont fit a phase 1 car as the wheels will be in the wrong position.

sorry i ment that all the early types are interchangeble on early cars.
