Hi all, just bought an fn2 a few weeks ago which has been mildly modded. HKS induction kit, full Meerkat exhaust, hondata, bilstein Coilovers and few mugen bits and bobs. Anyway started getting a clucking from the suspension when turning at low speeds. The car has bilstein b14 coilovers on it which seem to be leaking but when I jacked the car up there doesn't seem to be in play in the struts or ball joints etc. has anybody else had any top mount issues or are they a common fault? any help at all much appreciated

Funny you should mention that lol
I bought my FN2 CTR from a dealership in June. When I got the car they gave me 7 months warranty. After owning the car a few weeks I noticed a knocking noise coming from front right and the steering was very creeky. I left it to the dealer to check it over and it turned out it needed a new control arm and a top strut bearing.
I have had the control arm replaced and I am now waiting on the top strut bearing to resolve the steering and creeking issues.
I also wondered was this a common issue?

Well hopefully that's what it is. Getting my top strut mount bearings replaced tomorrow night. The only thing is I have bilstein b14 on with the standard mounts as bilstein don't make top mounts for them so mines were only replaced 2 years ago when the coilovers were fitted which seems a bit quick for wear

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
