V50 2006 diesel estate front knocking sound
Hi folks my v50 had its MOT last week and failed on front drivers side shock, I found a replacement at a local breakers yard and swopped it over, not too many issues although get I'm not a mechanic, whilst it passed the MOT retest no problems I've now got a horrible knocking when I go over humps n bumps, not the normal Volvo hard suspension noises, any ideas would be much appreciated
All the best Andy |

most likely the stabilizer links, those are connected to the strut and if they are not tightened correctly they will make a lot of noise. Even when the link itself is not broken yet. You have to replace the bolt in that case.
I had this happen to my own car as well. |

Also a possible culprit - top shock mounts/bearings. Had some odd noises when those were worn, have a check just in case aswell
