Drivers side front knock
« on: 01 August 2014, 20:06 »
Got a strange knock on the front could be loose top mount or arb bush not checked yet but any common faults? Only really evident when going over a small bump of occasionally under acceleration i think it could be the suspension but not sure at present

I had a similar knocking on mine the other week, I got underneath and checked all bolts on the subframe and console bushes.

2 were not fully tight (i think its because i had new S.A.L.K fitted and a new subframe fitted and they have managed to loosen a bit)

One was a ARB bolt, and the other was on the offside console bush that connects to the subframe, fully torqued up and no knocking now. just need to check torque specs as all the bolts are different.
