Knocking noise

Post by **beal1982** » Wed May 06, 2009 6:07 pm

I\'m getting a loud knocking from the front pas area. I believe it to be a suspension knock. Only seems to make a noice when i drive over uneven roads, speed bumps at speed and pot holes. any advise welcome. (all suspension parts have new bushes).

Could be trunions if badly worn. Worse case that I have seen was a fractured chassis leg - that gave a similar kind of noise....

Are the bump stops present? Does the damper have any oil inside? (also check damper mounting bolts are tight) Could simply be the suspension bottoming out if either of the above are wanting!

How about the exhaust where it passes out of the engine bay?
