Would have been the first place to look before stripping the car to bits!

Any aftermarket parts fitted are always the first port of call

But this is German quality, the elite among suspensions, they cannot break after 2 thousand miles.

I should have installed Steeda. A friend sold me the KW, praising it endlessly. Now I want to punch him in the face.

sounds like a bushing or a spring seating surface. It only happens on a bump. Not interior

In terms of basic troubleshooting.

1. When did the problem begin?
2. What, if anything changed?
3. Start with what was changed.

The problem started a couple of months after installing the KW V3 suspension. A nasty scraping sound appeared from the rear when hitting bumps. That's it. Nothing more.

If the valve was broken... it would be like having no shock on that corner. You'd feel it for sure.

They're both broken. Only one makes a noise when going over bumps. The other just makes a slight knock. But yes, you're right, I noticed the car reacts to bumps completely differently now. It has stiff springs, and I was driving on just those, so it turns out
