Front end knock

[djsunshyne]

Hi all,

 

i have recently changed my front wishbones and track rod ends with brand new standard parts (meyle) for the MOT. Ball joint and rear wishbone bushes were excessive play and it seamed easier to replace them as a whole rather than trying to squeeze new bushes in.

Car passed the retest, but now I have a knock coming from the front end. Also when reversing on full lock I also get a knock. Have I messed up my steering rack (struggled to get a stubborn track rod end off and ended up cutting it off and using abit of brute force) or something else. The drop links were only replaced last year, a long with the arb bushes inc all collars etc from arb.i have double checked the ball joint and wishbone bolts but these seem pretty tight.

any ideas?

 

thanks

Bushes on the radiator?

Worth a check..
