Still have a knock

Kennyeth · 5th October 2014, 07:23

I have still got a knock/clunk on near side front. I thought it was droplinks so had those replaced but still the same.
On the last MOT before I bought it the advisory said:
"Nearside Front suspension has slight movement at a suspension ball joint"
What parts do I need next? I want to source them and then my garage mech will do repair?
Also drivers full electric seat just stopped working, passenger is ok, where do I check first?
Ken.

I get a similar knock on mine, no obvious play in anything, I had new drop links from unipart before they went bust, but it is still there.

My garage think the lower arm rear bushes may be causing it despite only showing minor cracking.

Interestingly enough Rich, a friend with a ZT had minor cracking in his lower arm bushes - changed them for Powerflex items, and his mysterious knocking also disappeared.
