Guest crustofeson1 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hi. When turning especially to the left I have a knocking noise and when I get to full lock its a single loud clunk or bang. Initially I thought it was the steering rack but have been told by many garages that its not any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Have you checked anything yet ? If not start with the simple stuff, wheel nuts, wheel bearing sub frame bolts etc Also check for a brake caliper seizing Edited September 12, 2011 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 What suspension are you running? I've seen a few shocks making noise over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crustofeson1 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 By the looks of it, it has the original shocks on it. Garages have said that the shocks are fine, I will b replacing them at some point. Coils are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crustofeson1 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I think I remember seeing on here somewhere that someone Mentioned the engine mounts as a possible cause. Does any one know the best way to check them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
