Steering / Suspension knock

[alluslawless]

2nd of todays problems.

When I pull away from a junction I seem to get a slight knock/rumble from the N/S/F corner. It doesnt happen all the time and only when I turn right.
Any ideas?

A couple of things


If you get it when turning the wheel it's probably a top strut bearing.

If you get it on the first bit of movement when starting off as the bonnet raises and the last bit when stopping as it lowers and raises again it's either the rear bush or possibly the shock itself.

However I'd be tempted to check the ends of the spring as well.

I had the same thing. In the end I replaced the bearing, shock, and bush. :D

Possibly a worn CV joint?
To check for worn constant velocity joints, drive the car very slowly on full lock. A worn joint will make a distict knocking sound as it rotates.

Thanks for the info. I've got it booked in for a couple of jobs next week. I'll get them to check it out. Reckon its the rear bush.
