Guest murcus Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 possible ball joint, engine mount or anti roll link, push on the side of your suspension, normally if its a good clonk, its the rear gearbox mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suffolk04 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 hate knocking noise's, got one on mine, gave up looking for it. Anyway, try changing the cheapest stuff first, like track rods/ends and top strut mount's. failing that could be the engine/gearbox mount,anti rollbar bushes,cv joints,ball joints,week struts,strut bearings. Big list,thats why i change bits when i can, so far balljoints,strut mounts and track rods changed How bad/loud is the noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escort Cabriolet Club Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 In that case I would not drive it at all, get it to a Garage ASAP and get a pro to sort it out for you mate !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steven Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 had a look today and found out the problem the little screw that holds the brake disk on had cam out or there was niver one lol duno but that was the knocking because the wheel wasnt full tighend and the disk was hitting the hub and wheel sorted now cheers guys for the comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
