thetrashcanman Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 New speedo sensor or possible the speedo itself for the speedo issue the knocking from the front noise is generally a leaky or broken shock, so that would be my first port of call for that problem, as the member above me said, Keron a trader on here should be able to help you source most of those parts, although I would recommend replacing the socks with some aftermarket ones if the car still has the stock toyota ones on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 broken wire on the speedo perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a dodgy speedo converter, we see that a lot. Has it got one fitted do you know? 2. Could be pump, rack or wiring disconnected at the rack solenoid. 3. I have new ones. 4. Anti roll bar links perhaps? Or top mounts, are they standard shocks? 5. Would need to look at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 1 and 2 could both be down to a dodgy speedo conversion (the power steering is speed sensitive). 4: Mine has a knock on the front but I changed the top mount and the anti roll bar drop links and it didn't go away, so its probably the shock. The drop links are relatively cheap and easy to replace so that's a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
