Rich Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 welcome to my world. mine's either the ball joint or the track rod end. got new ones to go on, they're suprisingly cheap to be honest, doing both sides whilst I'm at it.

simpo Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Have you lowered the car at all, becuase if you are too low lupos are prone to catching the drive shaft on the chasis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 it doesn't sound like a driveshaft knocking. sounds more like what I've got. you can really feel it whenever you go over a bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpo Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Live with it, raise it up, or modify the chais by cutting a gap and then strenghthing it. Tigz has done this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
