i have pro sport 35mm on my EP3 :) Sitts just nice on the back very happy with it for the price but please remember to use the spring sleeves. the springs compress alot and start pinging bad if you don't use the sleeves. well worth the money :)

after many hours and loads of £££££ later it was spring sleeves :) Thanks 4kas for your help :)

I give up :( Had tracking done as well cant find any problem.

Update: think i found the problem !!!!!! after many days of fu*king around fitting new parts i think we found the problem........ rack is dry as a nuns c**t! Ok so off down town to get some spary greese and will report back later :)

Yeah 100% knocking front passanger side when driving slow but also both sides ping when turning form stand still. Also abit of play in wheel if you wobble it when parked and makes a noise. lol had my fair share of problems with many fords over the years but this is a guessing game at the min...

Sounds good to me :) I need to try something pal. I hate driving cars with knocking or bangs. :( Really thought changing the top mounts would have sorted the problem out. Just feel lost at the min and not sure what to do next or where to start. Thanks for the info will pop it down in the...

Crazy i have not worked for 3 years and can't even get out of bed at 12pm ........yeah people like me should be shot :) i must say fair play to you :)

Update: So far fitted New top mounts x2 new ball joints x2 drop links x2 track rod ends x2 and yes still knocking its tits off :( Last thing im trying is rack bushes in the morning if its still knocking im just going to burn the ****er and get me a old mk3 escort.

ok no problem i don't mind as my PC is covered to the max just thought i would post to see if anyone has same problem. Thanks

replaced mine 2 years ago at the cost of £400 as it was streached and my mate has the same problem at the min. Both cars gone around 80k mark

every time i come on the site today im getting a message from Anti-malware saying it stopped malware from this site.? Never happen befor and only on this site ?

Hate it when peeps don't clean arches looks a mess :( Very nice car and looks sweet after clean up just the arches :)

Update: Parts paid for today picking up at 4pm this afternoon just hope the rain cools of for a hour. Will report back later ! Also got me a nice cold intake just removing the bumper as i type this to fit it :)

Just to confirm: Ball joint or drop links can course inside tyre ware and knocking ?

No not yet did the top mounts but still have a knocking on the near side front ? Thinking ball joint or drop links but the mounts have helped

not really that much money, i just can't be arsed with the problems going on for weeks i hate driving it with knocking noise. £100 all in for the parts and fitting and best to change the lot to rule out other problems later down the line.

Agree center cap needs sorting :) Also thinking about black nuts not sure on the red ?

Thanks for all replys Just ordered ball joints, drop links and track rod ends worth doing the lot then check camber and see if the problem sorted. Fingers crossed Thanks again

Had this car for 2 years this month and still love it. :) Few photos not the best but will add more in the morning

Really don't think its the springs as its only one side thats knocking the side with the worn inside tyre thats why im thinking ball joint or track rod ends. But out of them what would course this inside tyre wear ?

Yeah like its moving in the seat

yeah i see what your saying but i can't see that making a knocking noise

Ok so i posted a few days ago about a problem im having with 2002 EP3. Problem: Lowered the car 35m and started to get a load knocking/pinging when turning both ways even just slightly turning the wheel. Also get a clunk on both sides when going over pot holes or small bumps in the road. Ok so...

Update: Mounts fitted and all seems fine for first 5miles then i still have a knocking/clucking on n/s/f. Only seems to happen when going slow, I have seen that my tyre on that side is worn down on the inside real bad but the others are fine. Maybe balljoint/drop link ?? Changed the drop...

only lowered mine 35m but looks just the same as yours.......will upload pics later when i have done the top mounts :)

why would you remove the back wiper ??? i don't understand why you would remove it ......when removed it looks shocking and not right real eye sore

£55 for both sides, not ordering till the morning as its sunday and i would like to phone them first just to make sure there in stock. Will be fitted same day i get the mounts and i will post back :) Really hope it sorts the problem out its shocking to drive at the min as the pinging is...

Spring Sleeve ?? Had a few m8s looking over it today and they say the same top mount rubbers ? Noise is really bad *** sounds like a ping more than a knock.

Just fitted 35m lowering springs to my 2002 EP3, First car looks bad ass and sitting just nice .......test drove it just and i seem to be getting a knock form the n/f when going over speed bumps and normal bumps in the road. (not to bad) Then, when im turning anyway i get a knocking/banging...
