Can some one help me , evertime i drive over something IE speed bumps or uneven roads there is some rattling or knocking from the front????? help

I only bought the car 2 weeks ago , i was going to buy a skyline gtr , so hope i have made the right decision .

 

hi m8 check the drop links first then top mounts for damage/cracking /broken spring geo

 

I have the same problem with my bugeye at the moment.

I have changed the drop links and ARB bushes and still get the knocking / rattling.

I will be checking the strut mounts shortly.

Please let me know how you get on

 

Thanks guys , is that a expensive one if they are damages

 

I had just such an annoyingy rattle on my Forester, turned out one of the bonnet hinges was rusty inside and created a clearance between the 'pin' and 'surround' and the bonnet was rattling up and down, replacement from a breaker and sorted!

Have just remove the strut and checked the top mount which has quite a bit of play.

Does anyone know where I can get any replacement top strut mounts?

 

car is booked in for a service , so they are checking the rattling out on friday , also having a dump valve fitted , and springs next week , dont like the ride height needs to be low

 

How did you get on with the service mate did they find anything wrong or worn. I have checked my top mounts and changed them but still knocking. I have ordered a pair of front struts and will be fitting soon. I'll let you know the outcome.

 

yeh , had big service and made a big differnce to the car .

has for the knckn they changed the track rod ends and that as cured it wasnt a expensive job , car feels really diff

cheers
