knocking sound!

[archangel_7]

I’m getting a knocking sound the front suspension and sounds like the CV or ball joint link rods, every time I go over a bump I can hear the knocking noise it makes. Doesn’t sound good! very annoyed! I'll get my dad who is a mechanic to have a look at it before I contact the dealer just to be sure... Its only done 30ks so I'll be surprised if it’s the link rods. Has this happened to anyone before? Hopefully it’s a warranty item

I remember reading somewhere that it could be the engine mount.

That would be why APR made this: http://www.goapr.com.au/products/pologti_em.html

But I may have no idea what I'm talking about.

Check the tie-rods to the front sway bar. Sounds similar to the knocking sound I had, and replacing these fixed the problem.

I get an annoying knocking sound over low speed bumps. Was going to get it checked out next service. I have tried to have a look myself but I really need the car up on stands to be able to see anything

check all joint for broken seal and oil leak for the shock
good idea to chat with dealer for warranty work

Can you get this part for a 2.0l MKIV from APR. I could not find it on their website.
