Knocking dinging noise UPDATE

[aterro]

hello

previously
it only used to do it when turning right
i would turn then when i get a certain point in the turn it would go ding.
it sounds like its coming from the track rod end ish area

then lately its being doing it both sides
but more frequently when i turn
and when id do reversing into spots its more dink dink dink dink.

i had my mot last week so its nothing that would fail on mot.
any ideas?

Your coilovers? haha only kiddin mate

I had a similar problem before i replaced the wishbone, that made a knock when turning and quite often pulling off

 

[aterro]

surprised why it aint the coilovers to be honest lol

its not when pulling off.
its just when turning then when it passes a certain point it DINKS
the when turning the other way the other side dinks. which it didnt before.

I would suggest have someone turning the wheel and you get underneath and try and find where its coming from

Any common things should have been spotted at mot you would have thought

Check topmounts too, Lad i bought my old VTS off had very similar problem thinking of it now and his topmounts were slightly loose iirc

 

[Spud_G40]

Kinda sounds like topmount bearings TBH, I'd check them first, like berg said.

 

[aterro]

I jacked up front end nd nothing was loose. I didn't check topmounts. How do u do it? Remove coilover nd check

it still made the noise when i had my standard suspension on and old top mounts.

 

[Berg]

Maybe its hub/wheel bearing territory

 

[aterro]

well i can actually hear the noise from the lower region and not the top strut region.

how could i check that its hub/wheel bearing?

 

[JTarry]

Hi mate, I've got the same problem with my Ibiza. Have you managed to get to the bottom of the problem yet?

 

[aterro]

i havent found the noise yet dude.
still looking for it

any ideas lads?

 

[AlexGSi2000]

Mine does the same from time to time.

Im replacing my hubs and front wheel bearings in the next few weeks, so will let you know if it rectifies the problem.

 

[D--R--E--W]

I would have said the strut top mount mate

 

[aterro]

it does it when going up and down and when turning fast both sides now?
would this be the rubber top mount?

 

[aterro]

update

right
its got worst
and any turn around a corner
it goes dink dink dink dink dink
then when i turn back the other side goes dink dink dink dink.

so its both sides?
would this be top mounts?

 

[Berg]

Did you grease in between the top mount and the top mount bearing when you fitted them mate?

 

[aterro]

mine came already built
unlike yours.
mine already had top mounts on

 

[Berg]

Ah right thought you got new topmounts and bearings when you fitted

back to the drawing board then

 

[aterro]

nope
they where on a lads car on here
then i fitted to mine with same top mounts of his car.

any ideas though lads?

 

[AlexGSi2000]

After the update, I would guess at the CV joint.
Do you have any green grease splatted about the area? Is the CV boot in good condition?

 

[D--R--E--W]

Defo not the driveshaft dried out?
