2000 1.25 knocking noise from front n/s - jaksv
hi there,
over the last couple of months i have been getting this quite loud knocking noise from the n/s front suspension, it seems 2 happen on uneven ground and uneven road camber but nothing on a flat tarmac road.
when i 1st got the noise i was told it was the top suspension mount i changed this 2 no affect, then told wishbone, new 1 fitted and i still have the noise....
i am now thinking is it the shock absorber?? or the link arm from the shock to the anti roll bar??
anyone had this before?? can anyone help please as im buying things i dont need at the mo and its not helping...

thankyou

You seem to have replaced the 2 common failure items, a link bar shouldn't be too expensive but worthing checking for wear first. Are the coil springs OK, as we sell an awful lot of these as well for your car.
