    Knocking sounds....

    I'm starting to hear a bit of a knocking sound coming from my front right suspension.. can't be the BC N+ coilover's cause it's not wet or whatever and their still new..

    I notice i hear the knocking / jumping sound when i go up and down curbs or over speed HUMPS.. lol..
    i'm thinking either front sway bar endlinks or ball joints? More so the endlinks, but what do you guys think?

    Any recommendations for ball joints and endlinks?

    could it be the springs are settling?

    How bad is the knocking sound?

    lol....Check the base of the shock to see if there is any liquid on it. It could be that the strut is blown....

    guy at the shop told me a broken axle will never leave you stranded... however a broke axle left me stranded in my crx...

    Check that the nuts at the top of your strut towers have not worked themselves loose.

    See if your lugnuts are tight. You get a knock if they are loose. Or have someone turn the steering wheel while you look at the spring, see if that moves.

    check all the bolts, EVERYTHING. Also check you axels. It could be your axels are done.

    Yeah I have this same noise I think, from the front right side. I usually hear the knocking when I hit small holes or bumps. But thats just because I have springs I think my struts are blown but it they say the axle has an effect on it, how do you know if they are broken?
