If true, expect exploding tyres.

I ruined two mint A539's with my spax coilovers.

Video that could be hard to show you how it feels and about the spaxs catching there's more than enough clearance I am tracking it at my friends garage in the morn with a proper lazer tracker so i'm hoping it helps but I have a feeling it's a camber problem but I cart see why this is but I really do appreciate everyones point of view and thank you

If its a knocking noise, i doubt its a camber problem, more likely something is loose, or balljoint is knackered.

Aye, what cv's / shafts did you use?

Is it a knocking noise, or a clunking / clicking?

If its jacked up, is there any play in the wheel?
