body knock

(1/2) > >>

jayboy:
hi all got a body metal to metal type knock from near side front every time i pull away forward or reverse , ive just done the cv joint which has solved the clicking but cant find anything loose or worn looking, no play in the props nothing touching were it should not , any ideas? its a 95  300tdi 110 county cheers . :?

davidlandy:
checked the radius arm bushes, panhard rod bushes?

jayboy:
they move a little but ,well not sure how much it takes them to knock. getting worse each day it knocks now every time you slow down speed up and over bumpy ground . how much play can be acceptable ? many thanks for the info .

davidlandy:
i believe that there shouldnt be any noticable movement.

ibexman:
I had this issue -  horrible sounding metallicy noise from somewhere near the front wheel.  Got underneath with a large screwdriver and found some movement on the front radius arm bushes at the axle end.  Replaced them - noise gone.

However, I' ve just had a prod around again and there seems to be as much movement as before, but no noise!  Suppose thats LR mechanicals for you.

Regards

Dom
