Idk if this is the right posting for this, but there is a slight knocking noise on my right passenger side front wheel drive. I was wondering if anyone had experience this kind of knocking and tell me what it is ? The knock is louder when i have a passenger with me. Few weeks ago i went up a curb (right wheel) it was slow but after that the knocking noise appeared. Can anyone tell me whats the cause of this ?

 

Any more details would be great. Have you looked at it? Could be the following and then some:

-Busted sway bar bushing/link
-Wheel hub bearing
-Ball Joints
-Broken a-arm
-A arm bushings
-Bent wheel
-Tie Rod
-Bad Strut


Can be more, basically that is your front passenger side suspension LOL. Have you looked for broken components? Lift up that side of the car, take off the wheel, and look. Youll be looking for broken bushings, boots, or components. If something does not like right it probably isnt. Also before you take off the wheel spin it to see if you notice any odd noise.

 

Thanks for your reply ! And heres more info that might help. When im about to go my garage slowly going up the knocking sounds appear again. And i remember the previous owner saying something about the right coils has been zip tied ? maybe thats the problem idk. Ill try posting a video with the knocking sounds!

 

Thanks for replying ! Ill go on ahead and try that out. Ill try and post a video of the knocking sound

 

Raise the wheel up, take off the wheel, and take some pics. I dont mean to be rude but it doesnt sound like you experience with working on cars. Maybe you should take it to a shop or find a local on the forums to help you out.

 

Ill take a pic tomorrow its already night time here. And yea your right Lol im a youngin and just got the S a couple months ago thats why i joined s2ki to learn some things. You gotta start somewhere right ? Haha. I was planning to bring it to a shop, but i just wanna check on here first if someone had this problem also.
