Help!! Knocking/rattle noise

[Cuprar72]

Hi all I need your help as I’m stumped trying to locate a knocking rattling noise, the noise is only when going round a roundabout with bumpy rd surface mainly or if I go up a kerb with steering turned , now I first thought drop links as that’s what it sounds like so I replaced them and polybushed the arb too, the strut tops are new polybushed too, I get no noise hitting bumps or holes etc when wheels are straight, the ball joints and track rod ends have no play and road springs are not broken , cv joints are quite (tested full lock both ways in car park), so what else could it be had a quick look and dog mount is also polybushed (yellow) , help please it’s odd as only happens if steering turned and bumpy/holes in rd

Had this on my mk1 Cupra R years ago. Had all suspension bushes replaced and problem solved!

I have a knocking noise at the moment, sounds like at the front in the middle . Only when going slow.

Don't hijack this thread, you have your own one going and it will confuse those that are trying to help you there.

For genuine could be about right but try Listers in the forum sponsor section, Mike will sort you a good price. If you want to upgrade I believe the cast TT arms fit but not done it myself.

Or you can put a cheap one in from ECP, about the £30 mark and get some poly bushes in them or the old ones.

But why you looking to change the arms if all bushes are good on them?
