SIMON LC Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Had knocking noise develop from N/S/R over the last couple of months.Knowing the wheel bearing was gone on this corner I have changed it with no joy.Sounds like a shocker of top shocker mounting sorta noise.Are the top mountings well known for going?

Swampy442 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Id put some cash on a wishbone or subframe bush mate. Maybe a ball joint but more than likely a wishbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveWilko Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Could it be the exhaust rattling off something? I'm getting the same noise at the n/s/rear. I have 5 big speed bumps to go over to get to work and if the right side goes over them there is no noise but if i put the left side over the same ramps I get a horrendous rattle. My zorst is a Blitz nur spec r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON LC Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yeh mine is a nur spec.Might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveWilko Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi Simon did you get a chance to have a look yet? I'm planning to fit my decats tomorrow so I'll have a good look while I'm under. I've read somewhere on this forum that you can use cableties on the middle exhaust mount (the really long one) to pull the zorst higher so it sits tight against the rubber pads on the rear diff carrier/subframe (I forget what it is but it doesn't move) which should stop it bouncing around.
