Hi everybody,
The last day while I was riding the car I heard a noise coming from the right rear arch while taking corners hard&fast (we were 4 people in the car). I could see that the rubber was scratching a cylindrical thing in the arch (roll-over valve maybe???). I'm using standard 14"Alloys, so, my question is, it is normal this scratching on the rear arch, or should I have some trouble on the rear suspension?
Thanks!!

Re: rear arch scratching
Maybe worth checking if your bump stops are still there?
If not, then the suspension will compress too far causing rubbing

Re: rear arch scratching
I replaced the standard shock absorbers a year ago with a Koni ones, should I exchange these bump stops from the old shocks absorbers? I'm afraid I didn't do it...
Where exclatly is fitted this part? I think I still have the old shocks, I'll check if it is possible to exchange this part.
Thanks

Re: rear arch scratching
This is how my rear suspension looks now. It has a bump stop at the bottom, but it is missing any part?
