Front o/s knock t350

[justyr]

Hmm,
the t350's developed a knock from the front o/s area.
Going over small bumps I can feel the knock coming up through my feet (and hear it).
Before I start taking things to bits I wondered if anyone has any suggestions. I'm imagining a ball joint but it may be as daft as a loose door ecu... I do suspect suspension area though.
Weird, as it's not long passed an MOT.
Thoughts welcome,
J

Its not unknown for T cars to blow their front shocks. That would result in a knocking noise.

I had that Knock about 18 Months ago, i was getting a clonking noise when straightening up after being on full lock.Turned out to be both top ball joints on front suspention.
Hope the helps.

Are you sure its not the trailing edge of the bonnet knocking? Mine did this, but I found the ideal fix: Le Creuset Pans come with small black plastic thingys stopping the lid from rattling/chipping the pot in transit. They fit around the underside of the bonnet edge perfectly and ensure a tighter, quiet fit.

It was caused by a worn top ball joint. Replaced by Dreadnought.
(Beware replacement requires wheel alignment.)
