Front anti roll bar bushes

[lee3011]

I have had this annoying dull knocking sound on my 2007 fr and wondering are these likley to fail? If not could it be the wishbone bushes?

You sure its from the front because mine is similar and coming from the rear

It knocks when stationary if I turn vigorously left to right not sure if its the same knock when driving though mate

Drop links.

Drop links.

doubt it mate as i have changed them

I'd get to an open car park and see if it does it while turning sharply left or right into a circle. Either gonna be drop links, arb bushes, or loose sub frame bolts if it does it

 

[lee3011]

No it's definitely coming from both front corners but it still did this straight after changing the drop links?

If it doesn't do it when turning its drop links as turning the wheel will take up any slag. If it still does it when turning then anti roll bar bushing or sub frame. If you push the car down at the wings and you can't replicate the noise it won't be top mounts. If it's just making the noise on one side it could also be ball joint or wish bone bushing. You'd expert the alignment to be slightly out if it's either of these, so that's a good indicator. Drop links can go quite quickly if not installed correctly or are shite quality ones. I've seen them go in less than 5000 miles in rare cases
