Nocking Noise Drivers Side front End

waynepixel · May 11, 2009

Can anyone help me please. I though I would post here because the Leon Mk1 has almost the same parts as the Mk4 Golf.

I have a nocking noise coming from the front drivers side of the car and I cannot find out what is making this bloody noise. The car is lowered 35-mm on coilovers with upgraded Font ARB. I have change parts as followed.

Top mounts both side, but not the Top mounts bearings.

Drivers side Boll Joint,

Drivers side Control Arm

front Anti Roll Bar bushes

I managed to change the top mounts today both sides of the car but not the Bearings because I could not get the coilovers to unwinds, would not changing the bearings still course the nocking noise? The nocking noise from the drivers side of the car is still there and I am really at my wits ends with this bloody car.

If anyone out there could give me some advise I would be very grateful.

Hi Mate

Could you explain more about the CV Joint problem please?

also consider the steering arm from the rack to the track rod end. it has an inner balljoint which wears and causes a bit of movement and noise. rrp around £60-£70

It only nocks at low speed 10-30 mph going over bumps. I get no nocking noise turning left right. There is no nocking noise with acceleration.

anti roll bar bushes or droplinks? give arb a good pull with car on the ground

Rocky Rocastle · May 11, 2009

not cv joint then, that tends to increase on acceleration. First thoughts would of then been ARB bushes/ droplinks but as you've replaced them that rules them out along with wishbone bushes which i thought would cause a knock on turning, especially failure on the rear..........must admit i'm stumped then but i'm not too technically minded, you need one of the whizz's to see your thread. Good luck pal

I have changed the anti roll bar bushes, and the drop links are in good condition
