Ok,
I have an XUD Citroen Xsara.
So far it had new droplinks, new ball joints, new track rod ends, new bushes on the forks, new lower engine mount.
Today me and my mate replaced the top strut mounts and the associated strut bearings. Everything except the front shocks and the arb bushes is new. Both the shocks and the ARB bushes look solid. No play whatsoever, the shocks look solid, no play, no oil leaks no nothing.
Yet, when the left front when goes over a larger pothole I get a knock which comes from low down, like from the droplink or the fork bushes.
Now when I let of the gas pedal I do get some movement in the gear stick. Could this be potentially bad transmission mount or maybe even the top engine mount. Can these two mounts make this god awful knock?
