   Hi guys to my car to the garage because I had a bad knocking noise on the front .so they found the problem which it was the teat wishbone bushes . But they said they can't replace it as they can't guarantee that it would cur the know because apparently it's hitting the chassis because it's lowered . WTF I've never heard of this , anyone shed some light ???
