Default Wrong Shocks!!

Hi Guys (San2000's better half here!)

I have an 04 Civic Sport (in the fastest colour!!)
I have had a knocking noise from the front suspension mainly on turning the steering wheel at slow speed.

Honda have had my car for several days and rebuilt the supsension and some other things (i don't know what!). They were not able to rectify the problem so got an engineer from Honda UK to come and look at the car.

He found that the car had been fitted with the wrong shock absorbers from the factory and have now changed them and the car is normal apparently!

What I want to know is whether this is going to have caused any other damage to the car? Is it something I should be concerned about?

Cheers in advance

Hi Sportie!

I would suggest you get Honda UK to do a thorough check on the car and a full geo allignment.

BTW - How do u put up with the headrests?
