Hi all
I'm new on here and just got myself a mondeo st220.
After bout a week ive noticed a knocking noise from drivers side front or back or both wheels whilst going over bumps! I get the impression it could be bushes or somthing?
Does anyone have any idea's/ advice? I wondered if it was bushes wether it would be best to get those upgraded powerflex things instead??
Cheers everyone for any advice!

Mine does the same. I think it could be top mounts, which aren't expensive.

Hi
Do you think theres any kind of test to try and work it out? Or is it a case of paying a garage to have a look, let alone cost of labour!

If you park the car and bounce it at each corner do you hear the noise?

Paulfuzz

Ill give that ago tomor! What does it mean if it does make the noise?
Ive also just bought a door catch of ebay coz my remote locking has just started playing up! Just wanna get it all sorted!

Cheers

Is this a good sign??

Anti roll bar links, subframe bushes at rear if this is a mk3? Brake pads clattering in the carriers, could be a number of things, needs sticking up on a ramp for a better nosey around.
