Knocking from front drivers side any ideas please

MessageAuthor

Hi all another problem some day i might actually get to modify it!! im on the search for a fix to my knocking I've replaced the lower engine mounts both front and back i've checked the top mounts and they're fine anti roll bar bushes are fine too track rod ends and tie bar end(from roll bar to susp leg) are fine there's no play what so ever. But the knocking still persists!! Now i must admit after driving it for a couple of days it does only seem to do it when its cold, but if i want to make it knock buy sloppy gear change it does knock is it me or am i looking in the wrong place maybe its something to do with the drive shaft or even the gearbox. So on that note if any body can shed some light on this problem then it'd be much appreciated as i dunno where to look next Cheers for reading i know im in good hands Simon

Have you checked the bushings on the lower a-frame of the mcpherson strut at the front? They were/are the source of my knocking noises. Does it knock when you put on power and take it back off or brake a bit? IF so, it might be these bushings. Good luck

Thanks for all your guesses i have now solved my problem well i'l be in the process of solving it once i get the part.. Upon another inspection i noticed my off side top engine mount is the cause of my problem from the front of the car the mount looks in top condition but upon a more thorough examination (if i actually stick my head in the bay) i can see that the back of the mount has hardly any thing left so i'l be picking that one up tommorrow that'l be the 3rd engine mount to be replaced. Once again thanks all
