Hi All.
My old girl has developed a strange knock in the front end somewhere. . . . every time I turn left or right there is a single knock which can be felt through the floor on the passenger side. It only does it when turning either direction and only knocks once each time, I've had it to the mechanics but they couldn't isolate it. I thought it might be the steering dampener but it's fine and all the suspension components are fine too. Anyone out there have any ideas?
Cheers
Andrew
Possibly front body mounts

make sure your wheels are tight to spec, check wheel bearing too
Had any work done recently on the front anywhere
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Does it do it more so when the road is wet?Originally Posted by Wetty
I reckon it would be your front body mounts like Clunk said.
Tell them the doors unlocked and I can get in that way lol.
Sorry couldn't help myself.

4.5lt Gas blower. Lots of mods to come.....all in good time.
Body mounts or radius arms..
I'll go one of your bushes is flogged out, might need to jack it and put it on stands
and feel for play with a long screwdriver

Cheers for the quick replies guys, body mounts are good and it does it the same on wet and dry roads, but haven't checked the radius arms yet. . . .
Andrew
Radius arms for sure..
It'll be the bolt connection point to the diff..
Jump under the car with someone really bouncing the front up and down.

Bit hard 2 see in the pic but the bolt holes on the diff bracket are elongated, like Kallen has suggested
