Knocking

[sjc59]

Hi guys the girlfriends ibiza has been making a knocking noise from the front drivers side normally only when your reversing out of a space? Any ideas its been doing it for a while but after i lowered it the other week and changed both front lower arms and ball joints i expected it to stop but it hasn't any ideas what it could be?

could be the suspension top mounts, mine did the same when reversing got some new top mounts with bearings and its stopped.

Any ideas what i might be?

[sjc59]

dunno never measured it but is on 17's and the rear tyres are tucked up in the arch the the front tyres sit at the same height as the front arches if you know what i mean?

Are you sure you own an ibiza mate?

 

[surcalation]

so it only does it when going over bumps? Small bumps on the road or speed bumps?
