Suspension noises

Apologies if this has been done to death and 100% diagnosis cant be made without looking/hearing but heres my problem.
Ive noticed recently that over fairly rough to rough surfaces (they are all rough in Cheltenham) my Bongo has started making a rumbly knocking noise from where seems the front drivers side suspension.
Front drop links were replaced last year.
Do i have a claim too seeing as it happened after being at the bash?! :wink: :roll:

No loose stuff knocking around inside either. :D

Many thanks

Hi,

I had a set of droplinks go a year after fitting! The rubber had perished. Also if you didnt replace the ARB bushes on their mounts this could be/also be a source of noise.

cheers,

Steve

Hi
Ah...knocks and bumps...I've developed an "ear" for them...usually ball-joints/ wishbone bushings and droplinks / anti -rollbar bushes...jack it up and wield a crowbar on the suspect areas to see what moves....
Cheers
Helen
