homer j simpson Posted May 12, 2007 Report Posted May 12, 2007 has anyone had what i am having at the moment, everytime we go over a bump we hear a knocking coming from what sounds like the front wheels noticed that the front nearside tyre has worn down on the outer edge has this been because of the knocking or is it something else. :angry: Quote
El Dingo Posted May 12, 2007 Report Posted May 12, 2007 Doh! - Wearing on the outer edge is caused by 'Mini-roundabout syndrome'.Knocking noise could be drop-links, or maybe donuts bouncing off the windscreen? :angry: 'No, you've got the wrong number, this is 91...2!' Quote
mumof4 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 On seatkids picture...is the droplink the bar going down?.and what are the bushes??..mine was knocking yesterday when i went over some speed bumps..thought it was just because i went over them a bit fast. Quote
raymac Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 i had a bad knocking on mine for a while thought it was drop links so waited for the mot, it turned out to be the track rod end and it was well and truly knackered,once replced not a sound :angry: mot tester said they are common fault on the gal, so probally better to get it checked out first before you start changing any parts.

homer j simpson Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Posted May 13, 2007 just checked the part and there is some movement only very limited travel but still enough to cause the knocking. i will have to take atrip to ford and see how much they want.thanks for the info ;) Can't get enough of that wonderfulDuff bear. :angry: Quote
