ARB/bushes replaced, still got a knock!!!
« on: 08 October 2009, 20:19 »
Had the whole arb replaced and the bushes, but i still have a knocking when turning the steering either at stand still or traveling slowly, not as bad as before but noticable.

What next, top mounts, or wish bones?

Hmmm decisions! lol

Top mounts
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

no, if its making the noise when your not moving but turning the steering then its got to be the top mounts :huh:

been listening abit more, it only does it as slow speeds when turning, like creeping round a corner, or stood still.
