2003 LX Coupe - knocking sound - front susp.
Hey guys, I purchased this 2003 LX Coupe manual trans. about a month ago.
Since I bought the car, I've been trying to take care of all the small issues the previous owner didn't take care off...
I have a knocking sound coming from the front of the car that I’ve been trying to get rid of since the beginning and it's getting on my nerve quite a lot now...
In the past 2 weeks, I replaced the following parts:
-All 4 control arm bushings (front)
-All 4 sway bar link, front and rear
-All 4 sway bar bushings, front and rear
-1 Engine mount, the lower front one
-Front brake discs and callipers
Car drive and feel much better but I still have a knocking sound and it seems to come from the passenger side... We checked, rocked and tapped on everything, can't seems to find where it comes from. The front shocks looks fine and the shocks heads seems very normal and they do not produce any sound whatsoever, even when we rock the car from side to side...
I hear this knocking sound particularly at low speed over rough surface, but I also hear the sound when I blip the throttle... even when I change gear sometimes... It does it in any gear apart from the 5th. I can feel it in the steering and I definitely hear it clearly.
Do you guys experienced anything like this in the past? The only thing I haven't replaced are the shocks... do you think it might come from them even if they seems fine?
Just let me know what you guys think!
THX!
