I've been trying to find a knocking noise for a good year now which I get on bumpy roads only. An upper wishbone was replaced a year a go but there is still a knocking. I think we finally tracked it down to a front ARB bush so both of those will be replaced.
While the car was on the ramps at the garage they noticed the driveshafts could be moved up and down quite a bit. It's normal to have a small amount of lateral movement and the guy looking said he has seen driveshafts causing a knocking noise before but we'll change the bushes first to see if it's that.
I've read about the driveshaft issues on here before especially with them snapping but I think it is mainly on the diesels. Does this movement sound normal, anyone else get it or will they need replacing in the future? I have no vibrating at all and don't get any knocking when accelerating.
I'm getting fed up with spending out on this car now. It's creeping up to about £2k in the last year! I won't get that money back selling it so want to make it last as long as possible.
