stants Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm still getting a knocking sound at low speed maneuvers from the front and want a few ideas as to where to look next, so far she's had new struts & springs topmounts arb bushes & solid droplinks which stopped 90% of the noises, but sometimes I feel a clunk through the pedals almost like the pedal box isnt secure, so don't think it's entirely suspension related, I'm thinking of changing the steering rack bushes next Maybe it's missing a retainer clip on the pads so I'll look at them soon, is there anything you guys have come across or ideas that I can look into next?

stants Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yours is probably the rear struts, common issue on your sti mate. I'm just stumped as to what it is can't be much left to renew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey133 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm not much of a car expert when it comes to stuff like this [emoji14] but my boss had a classic Beatle with the same problem and it was the caused by the steering rack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Haha, no I was poking around underneath last week and couldn't see owt, that's when we looked at everything, d bushes (new) pads, although we couldn't replicate it on the lift, stupidly I didn't have my calipers to hand to measure the steering rack bush as there's two sizes and you know if I just order I'll get the wrong one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
