Thread: Gen 2 driver side front knock

  1. #1

    Default Gen 2 driver side front knock

    2011 Gen 2 MPS, totally stock apart from Ford E-focus rmm.

    27,000km.

    Get this front end knock on the driver's side when accelerating hard whilst turning right, or reversing out of driveways with the steering wheel on full lock to the left.

    It used to be pretty random but now it happens pretty much every day at a particular intersection when I turn right.

    Any ideas what it could be on a car with those km's?

    I installed the mount a few months ago but haven't checked the bolt since. I had torqued the bolts to 80 ft/lbs.

    Cheers

    Guessing bump stops or sway bar end links...

    3rd option, shocks have gone

    I had something similar to this. When I full locked to the right and drove around I could head a knocking noise on the front left. Luckily I had the car booked for service already and they told me it was my front left wheel bearing which they replaced

    I had something similar in my SS commy, turned out to be one of the front control arm bushes.

    Yeah that's true, but on the other hand I also have a old HSV VP that developed its first suspension knock at 140,000km!
