I’ve got this knock I’ve been chasing it for about 6 months now and can’t seem to sort it .
It’s mainly when reversing and turning , can be left or right but usually left ,
Sometimes on a track day when heavy breaking into a corner it can be heard then as well
Intermittent can go days without hearing it then can hear it several times a day .
It’s a metallic clunk I would say .
So what have I changed to try and fix this noise
New genuine Cupra r shock absorbers from TPS genuine top mounts and bearing
Apex lowering springs
Lemforder lower arms ( both sides )
Trw ball joints (both sides )
Trw track rod ends (both sides )
Trw tie rods in the rack (both sides )
Wheel bearing (both sides )
Drop links (pair )
Front R32 arb d bushings with poly bushes (1-2 years old now )
Checked subframe is tight
Steering rack is tight
Dog bone mount fitted ecs tuning maybe 4 years old now
It’s doing my head in , never fails a mot on it and nothing has okay or is loose
My suspicions are
Drive shaft on ns
Steering rack mount bush
An engine mount but can’t see how steering would affect this as don’t do it in straight line
I’ll try get a video tomorrow but really stuck now and many ££££ in
It is a Toledo 20vt but everything underneath is as per a Cupra r is up front now
Welcome any advice
