Jk* 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ok, now this has been happening for a while, and although the majority of the time it doesnt bother me, i would like to get it sorted for Monday as i have someone to come and look @ the car. Very inconsistent knocking noise from n/s front. I thought initially a gearbox mount but that seems fine. Only occurs when pulling off and braking. Does it when in and out of gear. Doesnt effect driving the VR in anyway, just a bit irritating @ times. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
H13VYY 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 i had this problem. Do you also get it when you go over speed humps at low speeds? Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Any bumps really, did you ever sort it? Seems to come around more in the hot weather, i think it could be the mounts warming up and giving more movement. :S Link to post Share on other sites
H13VYY 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 no i ended up crashing before i could sort it out. But one garage i took it to ..who took it for a test drive said he thought it was the coilover. But didn't find out though. Link to post Share on other sites

Mackenzie 6 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have the same problem, when i go over speed humps and the odd bumps in the road. I had the top mount dohnut things changed for the MOT last year (because it failed) and everything felt tight. But then about 3 months later i had that knocking sound from the N/S front. Took the car for this years MOT, to the same place with the same man that does my car, and it passed. So i am very confused now. I would like to know what it is. Ive got a spax suspension kit by the way Link to post Share on other sites
