Weird suspension knocking

GEKicker08 · Aug 8, 2008

Hey all i installed pretty much an entirely new suspension on my car about two weeks ago. And When im driving its smooth and very responsive on a smooth road, but when i hit the smallest bump on the right front tire a loud knocking noise occurs. Ive looked basically through most of the pieces and parts and can't find much thats loose. Any ideas?

upper strut mount, sway bar, ball joints, wheel bearings( though not likely)

Wow...just saw this and I have the exact same thing.

Do you have caster camber plates?

Have you check your strut dust covers? I know after i installed my struts my dust covers wont stay on for some reason. :dunno:

Yeah i have new caster camber plates and i checked those yesterday and they didn't seem to be loose at all. Its not the wheel bearings b/c i had those replaced like three weeks ago when i went on my 1,000 mile work trip. Im gonna check the whole front end when i get the time off from practice.... For some reason football practice is more important than anything else, including nursing school at this point so im just going to have to deal with it for the time being i guess... :wall:
