Knock in front end...

OnyxCobra · May 10, 2008

When I make a right turn I hear a knock sort of sound come from what sounds like the left strut area (sounds like the top). It always does it around tightish right turns especially if there's a bump or uneven pavement. Pissing me off big time, car feels like a pos when it's making noises. Not sure what to replace next...

Front end consisists of:
'03 Cobra control arms (new)
Steeda X2 ball joints (new)
H&R SS springs w/ Poly Isos (pretty new)
Tokico Illuminas
Steeda CC Plates

mine sounded like that about a year ago and it ended up being the wheel bearing hub assembly, one was bad so i replaced both and afterwards there was no more knocking sound while turning

Outer tie rods perhaps?

I would jack the front of your car up and take hold of the tire and try to move it back and forth. It should be nice and tight. If it wobbles at all take a look at where the wobble is coming from while someone else move the tire. I just replaced my rack for the same reason.

I'll check that stuff out, i'm 99% sure its all tight tho, it drives great. w/ 64k miles I'd be surprised if it needed a rack but I guess weirder stuff has happened.

The sound sounds like it's coming from the top of the strut, I wonder if the CC plates are loose...
