Today after I overhaulled my car and did all the "Weekend" maintanance bits. After a short drive around town, Ive noticed a Knocking sound comming from the front left of the car when I go over bumps.

I thaught it may have been my wheel nuts not tight, but I got out and checked them. They were fine.

Theres no play in the wheel (Balljoints OR wheel bearing).

Any ideas?

Did you torque up everything to the correct setting? Did you undo the track rod ends?

nope, Not undone trackrod ends.

I dont have a torque wrench, So I just tighten it until I feel its tight enough. Ive sheered a few things off the the past. :nugget:

its just a worrying noise. :tongue:

Dead damper mounting bushes? Grab the damper and check if you can rattle it around.
