strange knocking Help! - nath_ski - 20-10-2012
Alright all, The other day was derving round some back roads near me after my car passed its mot (finally) and dipped my wheel into a bit of a dip on the side of the road (to avoid a van) Ever since then it does quite a nasty knock when i pull away only. Nothing through the gears at all, Have checked the wishbone bushes and has just had a new ball joint for the mot and all seems ok. Im pretty clueless now. Was thinking i knakered my suspension but aany ideas would be sweet.
Cheers

Re: strange knocking Help! - kernow_joe - 21-10-2012
We're still unsure on this, feels like it comes from low down and started doing it bit on braking too... any idea's?

broken droplink maybe

As cully says nackered drop link.
Track rod end.
Top mount bearing shattered
Best things to check first TBH. TRE & drop link will be hard to tell so make sure you take them off and have a proper good look at them

Go do a fat hill start and see if it does it then. Im thinking engine mount.
RE: strange knocking Help! - kernow_joe - 21-10-2012
top mounts alright no real play in that, as we had that apart other day, pretty sure tre are replced recently aswell. tbh the drop links the only I'm not sure has been checked/ changed although sure nath will answer in a bit I forget whats been done and hasn't
RE: strange knocking Help! - puglove - 21-10-2012
Yeah my old top mounts seemed fine untill i took them apart and they fell apart in my hand.
Only takes the tre or the drop link to slacken off slightly to couse a massive knock. But again seem fine on inspection.
Dont just write these things off because the seem fine or have been checked/ replaced recently.
I.e i changed the drop links for new ones on my mrs xsi a month later it stripped ONE thread off very slightly slackening it and making a massive knock. But on the face of it seemed ok and was only replced a month before.
So as said dont write things off

Maybe drop link then, that is the only thing I haven't replaced or looked at yet, will change that on my next day off and hopefully it stops. Cheers guys
