    Suspension knock only when warm.. I'm stumped

    Fixed!! After I have changed up links, strut tops, control arms, engine mounts and shocks it was the Whiteline sway bar bushes I installed a few weeks after I bought the car. I used whitelines new "greaseless" which told me not to grease. Well it makes sense now, after a few weeks as the rubber...

    Supporting V8 engine

    Yes all attached. In previous cars I've held up the engine with a brace, lift engine up slightly and R & R mounts. Was hoping this car would be the same

    Supporting V8 engine

    Hi all. Went to replace my engine mounts and noticed there is only one engine hook, on the passenger side. Has anyone supported a L98 , if so how?

    My WM Caprice

    Hi great ride. Which type of ssl did you put in standard or heavy duty? Is the front the same height as the rear or is the rear a bit low, bit hard to tell in pics

    Who has had engine mount clunking?

    And I mean not the sound when one is split and the engine moves. Mine are physically fine, early ones had a internal fault causing rattling over sharp bumps

    Suspension knock only when warm.. I'm stumped

    Replaced the steut top a with super pro. Old ones where a little squished and bearings came apart. The car seems to handle bumps better now but the clunk is there and is worse now!

    Suspension knock only when warm.. I'm stumped

    Hi, It didn't make the noise before the new d bushes but didn't make it straight after either. I just got a few turns out of all the lower ball joints so see how that goes. Will report back. And no I don't have access to a hoist

    Suspension knock only when warm.. I'm stumped

    Well, after lots of research my possible problems are *collapsed strut top bushes *lower control arms *loose ball joints *spring isolators *engine mounts. Unfortunately by the looks of things it's time to start throwing money at her :-/ $$$$$

    L98 oil penrite 5W50 cold tapping

    Hi, All is going well, seems quieter at cold than the penrite, still had a slight tap for aboit a minute but I'm not too concerned. Runs well when warm. Overall very happy, won't be going back to the 5w50.

    VE SSv A6 2012 Diff Change 2.92 to 3.45 now Speedo incorrect

    I agree, the wheel rotation speed remains unchanged. Sensors on wheels are abs and some models must use one of these to calculate road speed. I can only see an error occurring if there is a sensor on the transmission output shaft.

    Suspension knock only when warm.. I'm stumped

    I double checked my sway bar mounts and all good, it deffently only does it after driving for about 10min or so, it's getting so bad, I really don't know what can make this noise only after time.... Weird weird weird.

    VE SSv A6 2012 Diff Change 2.92 to 3.45 now Speedo incorrect

    So does anyone know what determine if it will need a recal? Maybe look for a speed sensor on the transmission?

    VE SSv A6 2012 Diff Change 2.92 to 3.45 now Speedo incorrect

    Interesting read. I was under the impression that the ve got its road speed by the abs sensors too. I want to buy a new diff for my car soon so keep us posted so I know if I have to keep some money aside to calibrate it

    Hi, thanks for the reply but I never took the suspension apart. Just the tower "top" hat in the engine bay to see if the steut top bush was torn. Other than that untouched struts...

    Suspension knock only when warm.. I'm stumped

    Hi all. My caprice has started knocking. I replaced the sway bar bushes and uplinks not long ago to fix one rattle. It was quiet for a couple of weeks and now it has a weird rattle, almost a "cracking" noise when going slow, under 30kmh and only after I have been driving about 20min.. Sounds...

    L98 oil penrite 5W50 cold tapping

    Hi all. Did a oil change a couple of weeks ago on my caprice and used penrites' new 5w50. I was reluctant to go the Castrol 10w60 as my car is stock and only got 65000kms on it. Now she was a bit tappy before the change, nothing extreme, sounded like a lazy lifter to me. Now with this new oil...

    Diff gears....

    Thanks for that input. Are the auto transmission ratios the same between hsv and non hsv. Just thinking if a Grange comes with a 3.27 and the auto transmission ratios are the same as mine I could just put the same hsv ratio diff into mine, get the speedo corrected and bingo bango....

    Diff gears....

    Hey all, in the process of finding a new diff for my Caprice. I only plan on OTR, exhuast and tune so do i replace it with another 2.92 but with LSD or find a 3.27 out of a HSV? Its a daily driver and its mainly used on the hwy.
