My GT85 spray didn't last. However, 7 years or so later I've finally fixed this annoying passenger side clonking noise. Check the positioning of the rubber bush that's in the bodywork above the coil and install the lower metal shim (that a lot of people seem to ignore). Make sure that the coil...

Got fed up with the clonking on the passenger side. Jacked up car and removed the wheel. Disconnected the shock absorber (1 nut and bolt), supported the control arm with a trolley jack (to control the coil tension) and removed the "wheel hub bush" nut and bolt. Slowly and carefully lowered the...
