Hi guys. My 2007 VE with 200K kms is staring to get a bit of knocking noise.
It has King SSSL front and rear. I drive interstate a bit and over the last couple of years the front has developed knocks.
What are the common front suspension parts that would need to be replaced to tighten up the front end. Cheers and thanks in advance.

They are about 5 years old. How about the Front Lower Control Arms and Front Leading / Radius Arms?
I replaced the sway bar and tie arms 5 years ago also

Mine had 200k on them and they were still pretty ok. I had the parts so replaced them anyway but I probably had a few years left in them.

With the roads the way they are struts will likely need replacing along with the bushes etc. Links will like be knocking. They don't really last long on VE's.
