I already tried searching, but didnt find much for some reason... I was expecting to find more.

Anyways, I have two different knocks right now, one of them is just when im going straight, every bump i hit I can hear a knock coming from the front passengers side... so its pretty annoying on bumpy roads...

the other noise, is only when turning, so I'm thinking axles for that one, although my axles are fairly new(Sept 2002), so I dunno....

I've already replaced the stabilizer bar link bushings(summer of 2002), the sway bar frame bushings(today), strut mount bushings(thursday), upper control arms, lower ball joints, steering rack, tie rods, struts.... and the list goes on..
I'm starting to run out of ideas, it could be that I somehow got a defective axle.. or i've also started to think upper strut mounts maybe.

If anyone could give me any ideas how to test for things that are bad, or things to consider, that'd be great.
thanks,
Jamie

 

Does the noise sound like its up high or down low when you hit the bump???

 

its poss. u could have defective axels.... the rule of thumb is dont trust anything too new or too old

hmm... good question.. I didnt really pay that much attention to it I guess... I probably wouldnt be able to tell tho... since im sitting higher than the top anyways, it'll probably sound low either way....

and about the defective axles... that is very possible... although would they make a noise while going straight too? or just turning?

 

Inner CV joints are most likely the problem. Mine is in the shop now for that and another common problem is the plastic sleeves in the rackinpinion stearing.

 

I agree with JDM usually the cv's
