Hi,
I've had a knocking on the front end of my '03 TD4 for ages &can't seem to locate it. In the past I've changed track rod ends, drop links & both lower suspension arms & although there has been some improvement it's still there & now getting worse. On rough roads it sounds like something's very loose but I've had it jacked up & had a bar in every ball joint & bush & can find no play. I believe the anti-roll bar bushes are prone to knocking, but how is best to check them? is it best jacked up or on its wheels. Also noticed that the front tyres are both wearing on both edges, is it possible it's the shockers? the O/S shocker mount is squeaking a little when steering now. Just to confirm I had the VCU changed at Bell Engineering last November & the one that came off was tested & found to be OK anyway & I know it's not IRD noise.
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.
