    Front End Knocking - HZ Wagon

    I have a knock in front left side when pukking into driveways etc, not at pace even at a very slow near stand still, can feel in steering wheel

    So thinking upper bushes, just replaced ball joint Lower upper was good, but bushes looked forked,

    So Question where is best place to head, and should buy a kit off EBAY etc

    Thoughts Pedders Sometimes are good but sometimes rip you off, Local Guys around me not too sure on, Greg you may help out here or Agro

    Also need to stiffen arse up too when two people in rear arse scrubs so need to harden my arse (lol) I am talking about the back of my car and the suspension

    Just some of the worries from last wekends trip

    Thanks

    I had a knock like that once. The upper suspension arm mounts ended up snapping off the chassis on a bumpy road while trying to get it home.

    Could also be lower inner control arm bushes, or where arms bolt onto chassis could be cracked.

    +1 on the upper arm mounts theroy...

    Stiffening the rear end set up, decent strength shocks, poss extra leaf or even a retension of the exisisting leaves.........talk to your local Spring Works, they may have a solution already devised.
