Paulalbion Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Got a knocking noise on front passenger side, don't think it's the drop link, gave the car a good push up and down and can't hear anything that way, only when driving slowly I can hear it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Pushing up and down on the car rarely replicates the conditions Paul, I'd say roll bar bushes, but replace the link arm bushes too, before owt tho I'd get it jacked up and check bottom ball joints, it's free to check stuff, but I'd say it's more than likely a/r bar bushes or strut bearing.

Paulalbion Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Only reason I pushed up an down on the front is because my girlfriend had a similar noise on her car and when we did that the problem was clearly the drop link was kaput. Thanks for the advice anyway though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR6 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 If it knocks over bumps then its most likely ARB bushes, I'd change those first as they should be the cheapest to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulalbion Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 You found your sound?No havent had time this week, will look into it saturday and update if i find the source of the problem, just hope its nothing to serious. Developed another new annoying problem, window wobble as it goes up, pretty sure i know the clips are broke though so ill just get them changed and go from there.

VR6 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Alternatively take it to Kwikfit (yeah seriously). They have a machine which shakes your car while they check for noises underneath in the inspection pit. They diagnosed ARB bushes on my ST220 (and where correct) when two other garages told me it was the wishbone bush. You really can't go wrong, its free and you are under no obligation to get the work done. The mechanic actually told me to get them fitted elsewhere because it would be cheaper.

Pete91 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's free?! Think I might swing by at some point. How the access for low cars onto the machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR6 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Yeah its free. Just ring up and ask if you can book you car in for a free suspension safety check. When you get there tell them the issue and I'm pretty sure they'll find it. Lowered cars should be ok, its no different to driving onto a ramp.http://www.kwik-fit.com/about-suspension.asp Edited May 15, 2013 by VR6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Can't get on ramps without wood. Doubt they'll be sound enough to help out haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
