Hello, my girlfriends KA has had a suspension 'clonk' for quite some time now. It comes from the N/S front wheel area. So far i have replaced; suspension spring, top mount, wheel bearing, wishbone, drop link and anti roll bar bushes.
This started after she had a broken suspension spring/coil. The only thing left to replace now is the whole shock! but i don't think its the shock making the noise as it sounds like a metallic sort of clonk. It only happens when going over a bump in the road (pot holes n stuff)..n when you hit rough road sounds like a vibrating/rumbling/grinding noise.
But it won't make the noise when you just push the front of the car up n down..and it doesnt do it over speed humps :S
Any ideas? i am baffled|||Jack it up and put axle stands underneath then using a big screwdriver as leverage check for any movement in wishbone bushes, ball joint , drop links. Also make sure ball joint is tight and the top mount bolts are tight.|||My guess is it is the shock absorber, its weak and is letting the suspension 'bottom out' on certain road conditions.
