Annoying knocking front end

[maxmc2]

Hi guys,

Been a while since i've been out in the car and am noticing an annoying knocking/clonking coming from the front nearside.

When i had the MOT last i had monkfish check the suspension and all was fine.

When going over bumps in the road that's when it is noticeable and at low speeds sometime.

If its not suspension related what else could it be?

Bushes for the axle perhaps?

I have the road response pack fitted but not sure what that covers.

Any thoughts would be great as its something that id like to get sorted as it annoys the hell out of me.

Thanks guys

RRP is anti roll bar bushes, drag strut bushes and drop link bushes.

I had something similar in mine although only really noticeable at slow speeds and was the track rod end, Neil noticed it on the MOT.

Sounds like the lower control arm, check the bushes for obvious wear.

Mine has a low speed clonk esp over cobbles, drains etc.

Guessing you have a monaro? What do your top mounts look like? when mine where shagged they made a knocking noise sometimes (well it went away when i replaced them!)

I've just changed the ARB link bushes which were shagged and causing knocking. Easy fix.

Top mounts are pretty new.

Ill have to get it booked in at Neil's at some point and get him to look it over.

I have the same knock, my car is off to Monkfish next week, I am sure there is something worn. I will report back
