Ford Focus knocking suspension


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've hot a knocking from the suspension area, over small undulations in the road and just after road humps. I've replaced the obligatory drop links but alas no change. The track rod end had a small amount of play so I replaced this. However it's still knocking. The anti roll bar bush is in place and not hanging out or perished. The shocks don't look to be leaking, nor does the car wallow about. The wishbone bushes don't look perished so I'm lost as to where to look next. Any ideas?

I would replace the anti roll bar bushes if they're old and don't cost too much.

Hoping it isn't this, if its like the Fiesta mk4 you have to drop the subframe slightly. Which is always fun on the driveway.

Boom tish!  :roll:

 

Mine's a 2008 but it had the same problem, I don't know if the earlier one's have the same setup but mine was the top mount between the strut and the engine bay, they have a bearing inside them too. On mine the top nut had come loose so it was crashing about inside the carrier.
