stants Posted May 11, 2015 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?
Mikey133 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Ive got the same sort of thing on the back passenger side of my inpreza when going slow every corner, bump, small delve in the road it club is at.
stants Posted May 14, 2015 Author 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
Mikey133 Posted May 14, 2015 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
stants Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 Those are the next bushes on the list [emoji51] How's yours running ? Or you still overseas ?
stants Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 Literally it's not even on a quarter turn and it does it the other times nothing on various lock for a week
Scoobyghost Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 You haven't had a joker put a cable tie on a shaft? Used to do it to a few mates
stants Posted May 14, 2015 Author 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
Mikey133 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Mines great just saving for some coilovers for it, I got the new exhaust fitted sounds beasty now lol I'm just keeping my eyes open for the next meet I can make
stants Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 North east or further afield ? On in Sheff on Monday bit of a trek for you though ?
Mikey133 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah Sheffield is a bit for especially on a work day I don't mind grimsby area I use to drive there every day for 6 months so I know the way lol it's just it's difficult for me to get there early enough from work then it's the drive home after I'll go most places on a weekend though
Gambit Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I did try to get weekends well Sunday's but anywhere that was good wanted public liability insurance. Or wouldn't allow us with Sunday service of food. [emoji36]
Mikey133 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Never mind [emoji14] I'm sure one day I'll get a day off same time as one of the meets lol 1
