Suspension knocking, any ideas?

Featured Replies

Can anyone give some pointers as to where this might be coming from, front passenger side?  I'm thinking some sort of bush, I did take into a Skoda dealer today and they replaced both front anti-roll drop links but driving home it was still making a knocking noise over rough ground.

 

I've got to take it back tomorrow so would be useful if I can try to point them in the right direction?  I know they should have done a proper check today and will be taking that up with them tomorrow!!

 

Cheers

38psi? I only put 32psi in my tyres

I ran 38 all around for 5 months lol

 

There was a lot of knocking from the front, had new tyres fitted and the garage put 35 front/34 rear and the knocking stopped immediately

Is the car lowered? or on standard suspension?  if they replaced the Drop links they are standard length? fowling the drive shaft no doubt if you are lowered. 

 

Others to check, ARB , Console Bushes, normally rear.

Thanks for the answers, completely standard VRS, might be running the tyres too hard though, will check the pressures in the morning.

Took the car back this morning, turned out to be the anti roll bar bushes.  The mechanic I took out noticed within 100 yards of me driving so not happy that they missed this.

 

Cheers
