!!Front sway bar links reason for knock??
hey guys
i have a constant knock in my front end on my vr v6. Its mainly when i turn at high speeds.(the knock increases with speed) Just wondering if the front sway bar link could be possible for this? i looked at them and they seem a little cracked,dry and worn out. could this be the knock?
cheers

possibly, but it sounds potentially more serious then that. Could be a tie-rod maybe.

What does this knock sound like ? just a single thud when you hit a bump or is it continuous ?
no its continous like a doof doof doof doof doof. really fast(gets faster as the car gets faster.

flat spot or bubble on the tyre maybe

nah brand new tires and rims.

swap a rim with another and see if the noise moves with the wheel just too make sure a doff doof doof increasing with vehicle speed would lean towards a rotating part

lol i have already changed wheel bearings,strut bearings. what bush or bearing do you rekn would make this noise most likely?

link bushes are cheap and if the look cracked do them first with upgraded heavy duty z shaped links. apart from that theres only 2 more bushes the caster rod one to the front that holds the lower arm straight and the inner bush on the arm itself and the ball joint.you didnt by any chance leave a washer out from under the strut top bearing between the shock and the bearing the grease cover washer maybe its banging up and down on the strut cause you bottom the thread out before it gets tight without that washer
