Rattly knock!! - insomaniac45 - 19-07-2016
Hey guys,
As some may know I've been replacing parts on the front of the cabby.
The issue I have is I have a rattly knock coming from the front end. It only happens if the suspension is allowed to momentarily extend before being compressed again, or going over small dips (like where they cut the road to get to pipes and the Tarmac has dropped an inch or two)
So far I have replaced both
Lower wish bones
Drop links
Top mounts and bearings
Inspected bottom ball joints
Inspected roll bar bushes ( have replacements so will replace them too)
It does not effect handling at all, but since changing drop links and top mounts the sound has changed from a loose rattly to a more solid sounding rattle if that makes sense..
What could it be as this is doing my nut in,
Thanks
Tony

Need to take one of us out in it, trying to diagnose noises over the internet is a bit of a pain.

I've had the same issue changed the front shock and the noise went! On closer inspection the o/s damper had play in the body! I'm not saying it's gospal but you've changed everything else! I made the same mistake!

Thanks Dale, i will see what changing the Anti Roll bar bushes do for the knock, if no improvment, then they will be added to the list
thanks.

No problem I've got the same noise with the estate so shocks are already on the list lol
