Re: Knocking noise from N/S - SOLVED

Hi, If anybody's interested this problem is now solved. After following various posts I had the ball joint replaced on N/S suspension - no cure. After further enquiries I had a reconditioned N/S driveshaft and new wheel bearing fitted - problem solved. The garage had originally discounted these as ...

Re: Knocking noise from N/S

Hi eefy, Thanks for your suggestion. I don't think that can be it though - the car came with the non-standard alloys when I got it 10 years ago and I've never previously had a problem like the present one.

Re: Knocking noise from N/S

Re: Knocking noise from N/S

Thanks for the replies - I'll get the garage to investigate further - the noise is definitely rotational and not affected by going over bumps.

Knocking noise from N/S - SOLVED

Hi, My 1984 Storm is unwell - horrible knocking noise from the N/S -it sounds really bad - like the N/S driveshaft is about to come loose and flail through the floor. It's been to the garage and they're somewhat mystified - CV joints appear to be OK - strangely the noise can be intermittent - car ...
