I have a knocking sound coming from the front end when driving. It seems to get worse after prolonged driving. I have replaced all four drop links and the rubber bushes also. I have checked and all seems stiff and tight as it should.
What else could be causing a suspension knocking problem?

Unlikely this is relevant but is it a four wheel drive Bongo

Re: Knocking front end
try this link. part number 34-310 and 34=310z if its the other side, it has a ball joint in one end and 2 rubber mounts that hold it to the chassis, all these can cause knock.
its the part that is at the bottom of the screen.

could also be the track rod end/s and the end of the steering rack, or even slack in the rack itself.

Re: Knocking front end
It is indeed four wheel drive..
I will lift it and see if there is any play anywhere, it sounded like a similar knock before i changed the drop links.
Will investigate further and report back..
