Hi

Wondering if anyone can help please.

I have a metal knocking noise mostly at low speeds and it seems to be coming from dashboard area roughly ?

I have eliminated all suspension components by replacing everything, console and ARB bushes, ball joints, droplinks, tie rods and track rod ends, ball joints, struts, springs and top mounts.

So happy enough it's none of these.

Get a bit of noise when pressing the clutch and the pedal moves too much so something might be wrong behind the dash ??

Or is it the steering rack ?????

Thanks for any help .

Have you checked the engine mounts? 

Tried adjusting the bonnet stops/putting a bit of grease on the hinges and contact surfaces? 

Does it make the noise when you rock the steering wheel from side to side stationary? If not I can't see it being steering rack related. 

 

Ideally you need to be able to replicate it if you can to figure out what's causing it, sometimes easier said then done though. 

Thanks Matt

I have tried the steering wheel and it doesn't always make the noise. I will try it again on Monday when I drive to work.

I mentioned the dog bone mount to the garage but the noise sounds nearly in the dash ?????
