hazza Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I have been driving around and starting hearing a noise on the front say if I go up and over a speed bump slow As I come down it goes donk? Any suggestions? I have a feeling it may be top mounts? Or maybe ball joints? But other than that I have no noise when on a flat road. But won't know till sat when I take it In to my uncles garage but just wanted to know if you guys have had similar noises ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supranature Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Check the subframe bolts are torqued correctly as they are an often forgotten service requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 As said it might just be the subframe bolts that need tightening, do you get a clunk maneuvering slowing on full lock? as that's usually a symptom of loose subframe bolts. Suggest you get the car on a ramp and torque up all the subframe bolts to the factory specs, whilst under the car also check all the suspension arms, anti roll bars, drop links, etc, for wear.

hazza Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 It hasn't even been serviced recently. I've got some drop links coming tomorrow il have a look, i bet it will end up being like the top suspension mounts or something, Nah only over bumps I get it, no turning left or right! I need a set of alloys badly got a wobble at 30 buckle wheel :/ ahhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmax Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have a noise too but just when turning the direction, if I press the brakes noise come more times what could be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8KILR Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I've got a similar noise when I brake and it feels like it wobbles on full lock turns. I've tightened up all the subframe bolts and that did not help. I'm thinking it might be a lower ball joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmax Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Any photo of that part lower ball joint or number, I have changed the endlinks and the noise still there, that just happend when the car is cold right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
