Suspension Knock! or is it? Problem Solved!
Hello all,
Just thought I would post this as It might be relevant to someone else and save them a lot of head scratching. I have had a knocking noise from the front left of the car for about 2 years now. The Dealership cannot find anything obvious so i was living with it. Rough/uneven road and low speeds seem to make the noise more obvious. Well I think I solved it this morning. Washed the car, checked the consumables and shut the bonnet/Hood. Noticed that one side was down tight but the left hand side had a little movement. Adjusted the threaded bump stop on the bonnet and have just come back from a drive over the same roads that I head the noise. Result ? No knocking. So it was the bonnet/latch metal on metal bouncing around a bit. So if you have a small knock on the front end, for the sake of 60 seconds, just check your bonnet bump stops first and adjust as required. Cant believe how quiet the car is now when the radio is off. Have a great day. |
