I knew something was worn by the knocking from my left front going over bumps. So I jacked up the front and found the rubber bushes were worn in the track control arm that joins the anti-roll bar.
I ordered some off ebay for £3.49. They arrived I fitted them in place and then I noticed the hub ball joint was free moving in my hand. Further investigation found the rubber boot was split and I knew that was the course of the knocking.
A week later I bought a complete track control arm off ebay for £8. This has all the bushes and the ball joint too. So off with the wheel, on with the spring compressers, off with the old arm and on with the new arm, off with the compressers, on with the wheel, off with the jack.
Now it's knock free, trouble is when I put in the jack the jacking point gave in so now I've got to remake part of the cill and floor. This time though it'll be out of stainless steel.
Apart from that there's only been a few probs, about 20 so far:eek:
