spanky 0 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have a slight thud from drivers side front when I set off at a normal pace, if I set off slow it doesn't do it, it also does it less if I'm on a hill, and doesn't do it when the steering wheel is on more than a quarter turn lock either way. I know I have a knacked engine mount (rear drivers side), does this sound like the cause of the knock? I thought it would be, but am confused as to why it doesn't make the sound when the steering is on lock, could it be strut top bushes?cheers Link to post Share on other sites
dubberVR6 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Could be any of the bushes around that strut. Possibly lower strut or roll bar. Pwerflex it! Link to post Share on other sites

spanky 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 It's having a new rear mount in on thursday, I'll see if that cures it. Had it up on ramps on saturday, shaking the struts etc and had the wheels off for a good look. All the strut bushes, and anti roll bar and wishbone bushes feel solid!Pete you are a tart !!! Got any rivets yet, mate? :-d Link to post Share on other sites
