noise from suspension, what to try next

[Dan_GTi8v]

I've been getting a kind of knocking noise (cant think of a better word) coming from my front wheels/suspension. So far I've changed top mounts, wishbones, balljoints, and drop links. What else can I try, what started as a mild annoyance is starting to drive me mental!

cheers

Are the top mounts tight enough

Cheers for responces

Are the top mounts tight enough

As tight as I can get them

do you have coilys or springs?

springs and shocks, 40mm wietecs

Cv joint/boot

How much work is this? cant find anything in haynes about it but everything else was easy enough

[Seanl]

Depends if its inner or outer. Inner is much easier, have a look at recent threads regarding hub puller/cv joints etc..........

[stainesy]

My inner cv boot was gone so instead of faffy about getting a new boot and haviing to take cv joint off drivrshaft and putting it all back together and back on the car I just bought a full driveshaft including fitted cv joint on ebay for £20 lol.
Just had to unbolt from transmision flange and knock other end out of hub and just swap them over.
Cost about the same as a boot kit and I now have spares lol.

before I start f**king about with it all how likely is it that its my problem?

[stainesy]

You sure its your suspension?
When does the sound happen?

[Dan_GTi8v]

Dunno what else it could be, it does it when rocking the front and when driving slowly. could happen when going faster but I cant hear it
