52MikeH Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I have a M7 1.4TDI which has developed a knocking when turning right over any uneven road surface. Occasionally does it on the straight too. As I drive over bumps in the while turning I hear a few metal on metal sounding knocks sounding from off side front. Any ideas what I should be looking for or checking first?

Iaintruten Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi there first thing to check would be droplinks/anti rollbar links on the front as that's what happens when they wear down.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52MikeH Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thanks, I was thinking perhaps drop links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin-Fiesta-MK6-1.4 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 drop links are only 8 quid each, make sure your car is jacked up even on both sides on axle stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_T Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Drop links or springs would be my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52MikeH Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 I would have put good money on this being on off side of car, as I was definitely sure that's where the nocking was coming from. Turned out to be the nearside ball joint ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
