Hi

i've been working on a mates 2001 Fiesta 1.6 zetec that he said has a knocking coming from the front. Knocking is present mainly on bumoy roads etc

I had a look at it & noticed the wishbones looked a bit worse for wear, mainly the rear bush that's closest to the bulkhead. Anyways i was pretty sure that's what was knocking so replaced both wishbones for him.

This hasn't cured the problem & i'm now slightly stumped as to what it can be as i've swung on everything & also used a bar to see how much play there is in everything else.

The only thing i've found that seems like it could be knocking is the brake pivot shaft. I've never done anything with 1 of these so i don't know how much play they have in them but if you grab it & move it about it def causes a knocking noise.

Anybody else come across this? Does the whole shaft have to be replaced or are there bushes etc than can be replaced?

thanks

Craig
