   Hey, my car is lowerd 50mm all round on apex gear and since doing it ive got some mean knocking noises when steering especially at low speeds and it knocks when braking and sometimes when changing gear. i dont think it a driveshaft as its one big clunk when it happens, anywhere i should check as i can get it up on a ramp tomorow. Any help would be appreaceated. Thanks
   
   .ps i have also changed the top mount when i lowerd it

   Check the pinch bolts are tight and shake the wheels top to bottom with the suspension hanging to check for any play also check the anti-roll bar links make sure they're tight as these can also knock
