Front Suspension Knocking

[Guest jez205]

Hi all

 

as title, the nearside front suspension is knocking away, ive done the drop links and intend to do the balljoint this weekend (tho I cant feel any play in it) any other things it could be? i dont think its the top mounts - never heard them make noise like this before, you can also feel the knocking through the floor.

 

thanks

loose subframe bolts? they can make the whole car feel like desintegrating.

Check the top washer on the damper. if it distorts at all (like mine did) the knock is very bad indeed. simple to sort out.

if you can feel it through the chassis i would say its a badly worn wishbone bush, they often dont look too bad untill you get a tyre lever in there or yank the wheel about while jacked up and then you can see the play
