so it seems to happen on a lot of the jamex shocks, looks like ill have to put up with it, its not a problem when the raido is on anyway.

My brothers jamex rear shocks do this also

My jamex ones do it every now and then as well. 99% of the time they are spot on. Its only if I go down a really shit road covered in holes etc that sets it off.

i live with it aswell, but seeing as its happened on both my cars i wondered if i was doing something wrong.

ive have a set of 40mm fk ones that did it, then some cheapy red ones that also did it, then i got some G-max 60mm ones and they are a lot better, no noise at all :)

this happens with my fks. the springs are flaking inbetween where they have been hitting themselevs

anyone got a solution for this yet? is it just jamex shocks or does it not matter about the make?

I've had creaking noises at the rear before (ooer!), and it turned out to be the nylon bushes on the spring of the brake load sensing valve

my creak has gone but i think it is my springs banging because paint has craccked on them like

ok let me know if it does make a difference

No its not the spring coils touching each other its definetly the shocks top mounts or the shock itself.

I have apex -60s on and the coils dont touch each other,i even greased the coils them selves as i though it was that too but noise is still there.

May grease the rubber mounts and metal washers on top of the shocks to see it that helps.

oh right, yeah that will be the springs hitting as you go over bumps

might be the coils hitting themselves if you know what i mean, i had some FK yellow ones and when i took them off the middle 2 coils had the paint cracked off where they had been banging together over bumps

its not the exhaust because when the exhaust hit the axel it makes a different noise this one isnt like the exhaust one and the exhaust doesnt hit the axel anymore i used rubber from a side wall off a old tyre like

the knocking might be the exhaust, cant see why only the backs would make a noice though.

mine are the same at the back but it makes a little nockin noise aswell when going over bumps

my front ones did it, i just sprayed some WD40 up onto the spring and seat and it stopped it, although its starting to do it again now (did it ages ago)

My rear jamex ones does this too,its very annoying.

try using copper grease on the base where you think its rubbing :)

i think this is more or less normal but the the rear suspension creaks over bumps etc.. done it on my old car does it on the new exactly the same, what do you reckon the reason for this is? bushes knackered or is it nomal? is a jamex suspension
