1.1 Knocking Like A Mofo :0z

Recommended Posts

kate205gti

can anyone offer any advice on a reoccurring problem with my 1.1 205 please?

it "knocks" while driving along - it seems to be effected by the type of road, ie: on a motorway it will knock all the time, on country roads it will get better and worse as you go over bumps (worse when your in the air!)

 

the brakes are fine - no juddering when braking, the steerings fine - no vibration through the steering wheel, and it drives fine

 

the knocking you can feel through the floorpan, seems to be more passenger side but cant really tell

 

it stops if u take ur foot off the accelerator, but doesnt get worse the more u accelerate - is a on/off kind of thing

 

ive got it on axle stands at the mo - have checked all bolts to struts/hubs/subframe bolts and calipers and all tight, grabbed wishbones, track rods etc.. and gave them a shake and nothing wobbles

 

its had new driveshafts and calipers/discs to try and fix this and im now totally befuddled and have no car

 

does anyone have any more ideas please???
