Just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem, and how they fixed it.
I've got the -60mm Gmax springs and shocks suspension kit and it squeeks like a bitch over bumps. As far as I can tell its the drivers side rear. It's done it for ages, since I got it really, but I've finally had enough of it!
Any idea's what it could be and how I could fix it? 
Cheers.

i said that yes, before i changed the top mount it was banging a lot, now after a couple of months my passengers side rear shock has started squeaking with the vaux top mount on!!
I think its just CRAP shocks m8 not anything else, im prob gonna change mine for APEX ones.

Cheers guys.
AdiSRI... I sometimes get a banging too, didn't know what it was tho. I'll try putting the standard top mount back on, I still have the original shocks and springs in the garage.

yup go for it that will at least stop the banging m8 but u will still squeak.
I find it unnerving, like a wheels gonna fall off or summat so 4 peace of mind i wanna change em.
I want colovers Adam_B but cant afford em as getting full combat 2 WIDe kit fitted in next couple of months!
Only thing is bit worried about it with 16's, they may look too small?

I don't find the sqeaking unnerving, I know its probably just crap shocks and it sorta sounds like hydrolics bouncing or something too, haha.
But the knocking was worring me, like something was loose!! Didn't know what it was til now so I'll definitely change the top mounts soon.
