Fiat Doblo Knocks

friarpat · 2010-10-20 22:00:22

I put a set of alloys on my Doblo last week and since then there are horrible knocking noises coming from the suspension. Alloys are the same size, 14" . There doesn't seem to be anything obvious like rubbing - shocks and bushes are no worse than they were the day before. Any Ideas?? Thanks

Are they genuine FIAT alloys? If not, you might have to buy some centering spigot adapter rings to make sure they sit on the hub correctly - they could just be held in place by the bolts alone which is never a good thing for correct fitment.

Yea. They're Fiat alloys alright and sit nice and tight on the hub centre before tightening the studs. When jacked up, the wheels seem OK, no wobbles or play evident.
