'02 s60 D5 knocking while driving

Mac940 · Apr 26th, 2017, 07:18

Hi! My s60 started making a knocking noise. I don't think this is suspension related - knocking doesn't go with the pothole rhythm and can be heard on a smooth road.
I checked CV joint bolts, they're tight.
It makes the sound driving slow, fast when turning and going straight, in different intervals of time

Both of them replaced on the left a few days ago and the right ones are not very old.
Used good quality Sachs parts

ok, what are your drop links like

Mac940 · Apr 26th, 2017, 09:06

Both changed recently, one a few days ago, other one 3 months, again used good quality ones. N/s track rod end 3 months old, o/s quite old but no play in it. Both ball joints replaced half a year ago.

I've done 600 miles over the last 2 days and didn't hear a thing and I'm sure I would've as it's very distinctive. I noticed it straight away this morning. Maybe something snapped somewhere? I also checked the plastic under the engine, it's tight all the way round.

How is the inner CV joint held in place? I can slide it in and out a few millimeters.

thats normal, mine are all new and move like that, have you checked your lower arms

Mac940 · Apr 26th, 2017, 10:44

Yeah, the bushes are pretty new too. Out of ideas
Pretty much everything in the front apart from the shocks is less than a year old.

Can you let us know the name of the brands for these replacement parts?
One tricky knocking source is also a worn strut mount bearing: will make intermittent noise even on smooth surfaces. The frame bushes of the torsion bar also can make noise.

Strut mounts and bearings are Sachs, brand new on left, not too old on right. Lemforder everything else

It's a good call about the brackets on the anti roll bar, I'll check that
