Hi, i have a 1991 SiR.

Problem is there is a slight knocking coming from the front wheel area when going over rough ground. I can feel it through the steering wheel.

I have only heard this from inside the car, kinda clunking noise.

It's just started in the last few days.

Any ideas??

 

I had the same prob with my car, and it turned out to be loose upper arm joint bolts...the ones that bolt the arm to the bushings. Mine were a little loose when I was going to install camber kits....check those bolts....

 

It might also be a blown strut...

I have coilovers man-they should be fine. Could it be a track rod end or bushes?

 

John, check the bushes, check the track rod ends, and check the upper arm bolts!

i had the same prob on my old si-R, it was the upper arm joint bolt lose!

Ifs its a "metallic" clunking, it dont think it wil be the bushes, thats more of a "thudding "type sound

Dan!!

 

hmmmmmmmmmmm

better get checking!

Thanks Dan

 

my guess is steering rack and pinion.
