Knock when turning.
Bit of an update to my front end knock. I’ll spare the details but the gist of it is. I can replicate the knock by braking hard and letting go, it’s a click metal knock.
but now I was able to hear the same knock when stopped, turning wheel all the way left and then turning the wheels left and right a bit.
I thought maybe tie rods, but there is no play, the noise is only there at full left turn. Or when backing up full right turn. So not sway bar related.
Struts are year old, forward control arms are new.
so I’m thinking Lower control arm and it’s ball joint non forward facing ? This would explain right pull at full throttle even after alignment.
08 4 Maric.
Two shops could not find an issue and told me to come back when it gets worse. So that’s what I’m dealing with.
