Knock in front suspension

[stevenroar]

Hey guys,
Recently started getting a knocking noise coming from my front suspension. I have a 06 ve omega with 129k on the clock.
Need to fix soon as I'm selling the car.

Any ideas on what that knock could be, and how much to repair?

Thanks
Steve

Only when you hit something even eg speed bump but not turning? My old man has the same looks like sway bar bushes

 

[stevenroar]

Yeah, the slightest of bumps, even on a rough road..

Any idea on how much that will cost?

Not expensive. You can get replacement OE bushes for under 20 bucks from memory, and aftermarket isn't much more.

Rack ends can make knocks. When I had a knock that was the last thing I thought about. Which was my problem.

Fulcrum Suspension do free checks. They will probably find heaps of other problems at 129,2000km though

Also could be front sway bar end links. They have been to source of my front end knocks along with the two rubber front sway bar bushes which have a revised design to help stop the problem. Do them first. Oh & buy genuine sway bar links. My experience of the aftermarket ones was a bad one, they failed quickly.

have the strut top bushes been replaced recently?

id say either strut top bush or sway bar bush
