EG shocks on EK - forks touching LCA ?
Hi,
I recently installed bilstein shocks dedicated for EG on my EK ( they don`t make the B8 model for EK )
I`ve noticed that the shock fork is slightly shorter then an oem EK one, installed an EG bushing into the LCA instead of washers to compensate wider forks that EG shocks have and assembly all back together.
Now i hear knocking sound on a big potholes coming from the rear right wheel area.
I`m concerned that the shock for might be hitting LCA since the is a very little room between shock for and LCA once the caris on the ground ( if i jack it up the fork touches lca everytime )
Is anyone here that have the simillar setup experienced antyhing like it ?
I will also check all the bushign today and give update - maybe since car was slammed bushings were twisted and simply are now torn ?
I thought it will be just messing around with bushing and then all fits nicely ( like it was described in ht forums gazillion times ) but don`t want the shock hitting lca metal-to-metal
