still knocking... - no2lurch - 23-05-2013
so far i've changed the passenger ball joint and drop link but i still get a knocking on the passenger side.
i'll try to describe when it knocks... when driving over small bumps like drains or manholes it knocks. it isnt speed related, does it less when turning right and under breaking.
any suggestions?

Could be strut top mount or lower arm bushes pal

sounds like its coming from the wheel area rather than strut top. i'll look at changing the wishbone
also, there is no up-down or side to side movement either with car jacked up or on ground.

There's 2 ball joints on the hub (track rod end and bottom ball joint) have you replaced any of them yet? If not, jack the car up, get underneath and give them a bit of a jiggle and see if there's any movement in them!

changed the lower ball joint. no movement in the track rod...

Its a peugeot, learning to live with it has the best chance of success lol

did you unbolt the antirole bar clamp?
it might not be located correctly letting the ARB move/jump
