wexminky Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Evening all, I have a 350 which i have owned problem free for almost a year now and hope to keep for many years to come but this morning there was a knocking sound that started from the LH front wheel/suspension area and I wondered if anybody could shed any light on what could be causing it or if anyone has had a similar problem? It only occurs when driving on uneaven surfaces or if I am unfortunate enough to hit a pot hole (this is easily done at the moment!!). The noise is not constant nor does it occur when going over speed humps etc. Hope there could be an answer somewhere! Cheers! Quote
martinmac Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Hi and welcome to the forum. This sounds familiar but I will let someone with more knowledge explain the fix. Quote
Stu350z Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Welcomw to the Forum! Sorry cant offer any advice bout ur knocking noise! Sum1 in the know will answer u soon tho! Quote
Will370z Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I'm not an expert by any means but could this be the anti roll bar drop links. I think it's a common problem if so. Quote
wexminky Posted January 3, 2011 Author Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks guys! I will wait and see! Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Banana Bar or drop links oh and welcome start with the drop links ......... it's cheaper Quote

ZMANALEX Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Welcome to the forum Your knock could be numerous things but the most probable will be the compression arm bush. viewtopic.php?f=157&t=43455 viewtopic.php?f=157&t=43456 Just drop me a pm if I can help you further Alex. Quote

bronzee Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Welcome to the forum. Hope you get it sorted soon. Quote
varley16 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 sounds like a sort of roll bar/frop link/ shock absorber knock. all sound same ish. is the shock absorber leaking? even if its not, it can still knock. best to take it into a garage to be diagnosed. Quote
