Put a long screw driver to ones ear and place the other end on the suspect component, while the sound may travel through other components, it'll become louder the closer you get to the cause of the noise. Checking for play, just backup the front end and rock and pry suspect components and check for play and noise or movement that shouldn't be there. If you want to arrange a time to meet, I'll bring a trolley jack and can give things a check over for you no problem. If Briodyj is available we'll both give things a check over Regards Rob |

Hi Rob. I would put my money on at least drop links. If it is, don’t buy Delphi drop links. Meyle seem to get a good report. Take the front wheel off, then undo the bottom nut on the drop link. Just detach from the link bar, and you will soon feel if it is the links. And if it is your drop links that have gone, when you fit new ones, roll back the cover and use some Castrol CL grease in them. Done this with mine and still ok after 4/5 years.

New antiroll bar rubbers would not go amiss ... if not already done .They can knock.

Knocks

My bet is on the drop links or the bottom ball joint. Interesting that the antiroll bar rubbers have been mentioned, but would that give a knock over rough ground/ speed bumps? |

If you are noticing the noise is worst over rough ground/speed bumps I'd say it's very likely one of the lower arms, probably only one side gone but could be both.
If you jack the car up and rock the wheels you should be able to tell if it is the lower arm. Not a major job and an entire arm along with bush can be bought from DMGRS for £99.99 |

When would suite you? I'm retired so can zip down the M62 :most days? I have a small jack that I carry around in the car. Most grateful for your assistance with this. I've been told whatever it is it's not serious, but I just don't like noises and my wife dislikes them even more! |

Hi Rob Sorry I didn't see your message about this morning. Until 1200 today (Friday). Monday after 1100 at Junction 42 retail park would work for me. I'll pm you my mobile number so that we can rendezvous in the car park. I'm thinking that it may be difficult to pin point where the groans /knocks are coming from. It seems to settle a b it after a run. Thanks for your help. |
