https://m.youtube.com/shorts/zl_hoWIuABE Nearside front (UK roads) knocks on potholes, bumps. Top mount has just been replaced, but knock still exists. What is the cause? Any solutions? Feel free to comment. Hopefully you can clearly see when jacked up and pressing inwards the top of the wheel we get these symptoms. There is no play on side or bottom of wheel. Does the whole wishbone move? Is the knuckle worn? Any help much appreciated. Joe
Few thoughts,bad strut insert, "A" arm large rear bush is most common failure front one normally ok,broken bush in sway bar drop link or chassis ones gone,loose subframe bolts ,lower axle carrier ball joint is pretty tough if the boot isn't split ,hell even a broken engine mount and there could be more as this is just issues I have found after long time ownership,cheers.
Take 2 https://m.youtube.com/shorts/mpeWyeXdHnM Wondering if I haven't tightened bottom strut nuts up enough (school boy error - will check tomorrow)...lower axle carrier ball joint and driveshaft is my current thinking / line of investigation. A arm and bushes appears solid.
