Pre mot check knocking/clunking noise

[Nick85]

Had my supra looked over today by my local garage as I wanted to know what parts I'll need to buy, etc. Turns out I don't need any major work done just a couple of little jobs to get done. 1 issue I pointed out to the garage was a slight knock/clunk coming from the n/s/f wheel area on full lock and moving slowly forward/back. The garage confirmed the knocking noise form that area but couldn't find the source of the noise. Anyone else ever had anything similar?? Cheers

Could be subframe bolts need tightening dude, or worst case a knackered bearing.

sub frame, suspension bush, ball joint, brake caliper etc

Ive got a knock on mine, well it sounds like a knock in the car but my mate whos an mot tester says its just caliper slap could be the same on yours

I had a clunk on the front of one of my old Supras - turned out to be a worn shock. Was difficult to diagnose as all the suspension bushes felt nice and tight, ARB bushes were fine, etc. Only discovered the shock was faulty after removal.

Mine makes a strange sound but only sometimes. Usually after turning right. It isn't a clunk though. If i had to try to describe it i'd say it was a grind/vibrate. More grind. It lasts until i brake fro a bit or steer around a bit then goes away.

I have a knock from the frot of mine when it's cold, all the bushes are fine all bearings and ball joints are fine, the subframe bolts are all ok, so my garage has put it down to noisy shocks.
