I fitted 50mm lift Lovells and Bilsteins to my NX Pajero. I now have a very heavy clunk sound every time the suspension drops when I am off road on uneven ground. Was like it right from the start as soon as these were fitted. Not on the factory setup. I checked all the torques with torque wrench and made sure it is all to spec (with the weight on the wheels). Not loose on the top mount plate either.
There is no contact with the drive shaft by the upper or lower control arms.
If I was guessing I would say that the shocks are too short and bottom out when the suspension drops eg when going over a hole in the track , and it does not need much down travel to do that either.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Can someone tell me what the length of the front strut should be so I can verify that I was supplied the correct one in the pre-assembled strut kit I purchased? Or a part number? Maybe the standard strut has been fitted to the raised spring?
Any help appreciated
thanks
