Hi folks,

I've got a bit of front end knock and was wondering what might be the likely culprit.

I've already changed the drop links and ARB bushes which has reduced the knock but there is still something amiss down there.

Before I spend money on parts I don't need can anyone suggest what to look at next?

Thanks.

Ball joints aren't much of a job are they?

not really they are inbetween the wishbone where it meets the hub, You should be able to see them if you put your head under the car

Jack up the car and move the wheel. If it moves, get someone to put their finger between the insert and the strut housing and check if the play is there. If it is you need to change the bushes on the shocks or get new shocks.

Tizerboy and Matty, what sort of mileage do you have and you reckon it's your shocks?

I've about 74k on mine, replaced the rears shocks at about 72k and the struts themselves wernt far from rotten ! Prob that a spin to the mechanic before I splash out more coin on it
