Jeronimo Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Long time and no need to consult the forum but now I do. Legacy 2.5 Auto, 59 reg and 69k miles. Regularly serviced and MoT'd though I have only done about 9k miles since purchase Jan 2014. Recently it started producing a KNOCK whilst moving. This can happen when just about rolling forward and/or at any speed. It hardly seems related to any particular bumps in the road. I can go over several and no KNOCK, then something gentle and it goes KNOCK! I've had it on a ramp several times. I have replaced antiroll bar drop links front and back. I can see no loose connections of subframes to body, no broken road spring, nothing which feels loose or with play. It is not a transmission fault. Any ideas?? Could it be a shock absorber internal problem? There's nothing loose in the boot. Thanks for any advices. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 My first guess would be a bush but yes there is the possibility it's shock related. If not the shock itself then maybe a top mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeronimo Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Ah! The top mount, could be, I have not inspected that closely. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeronimo Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well, it weren't knocking at the back, it was the front. One of the recently fitted roll bar droplinks had come loose. A quarter turn locked it up again and knock was gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
