Decided to start another thread since I found the knock was from the shocks and not the torsion bars. When raised off the floor I have about 8mm slack vertically. A sudden lift upwards and this "Free space" allows for a knocking sound. I thought my shocks were not tightened down completely but they are. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Another thing; (again when elevated) the shock also has horizontal slop. If I push on it I can get it to move inwards towards the center of the car. is this normal? FWIW, these are new Bilstein's w/ ~6000 miles on them.
