I'm getting a knocking coming from the front right, but haven't had a chance to have a look. It knocks when i'm turning, braking, over speedbumps...Its recently had new springs, top mounts, droplinks, Any ideas on what its likely to be? |

Does it make a bit of cracking noise at slow speeds over bumps too mate?! Its kind of a rattling noise more than a knocking......________________________________________ Ex Astor 6 ownerAlso an Ex owner of a Bianca 6 Now an ex owner of a 2005 9-3 2.0T 210bhp Aero Swedish Saloon thing!!

It's not uncommon for coil springs to snap/ break on these. Only say this as you say more of a rattle. Otherwise the normal stuff, ARB bushes, ball joint lower arm, top mount even maybe??. Hope you get sorted. |

Had the car up and its not them, cant really find anything obvious... ________________________________________ Ex Astor 6 ownerAlso an Ex owner of a Bianca 6 Now an ex owner of a 2005 9-3 2.0T 210bhp Aero Swedish Saloon thing!!

I think i'll take a look at the ball joints and ARB bushes over the weekend. Could it even be a worn driveshaft? will130787 wrote: Does it make a bit of cracking noise at slow speeds over bumps too mate?! Its kind of a rattling noise more than a knocking...... And yes it does |

driveshaft?.....springs seating properly? go round and check all bolts are tight i had a problem on my celica a few months back and all it was, was a bolt was loose that was supporting the rear of the wishbone (wasnt even that loose tbh) but it was causing a massive knocking. also check brakes and calipers etc are all bolted up nicely and fitting correctly. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |
