Steering Rack bush replacement.

[Digital Porridge.]

Hi,
I've been chasing a knock on my accord i-ctdi mk7 for some time. I happens when taking up power and coming off the accelerator in 1st & 2nd. So far I've replaced the inner and outer cv joints, drive shaft bearing and today the upper engine/gearbox mount. However the knock is still present. This leads me to presume (I'll check in daylight) that it might be the steering rack mounts. Has anyone done this or have a guide, as the last few bits looked straight forward and were absolute pigs to do.

When I had a knock it was the upper front control arm

They're all good, I replace the uppers and lowers before the mot last year. It might be the inner tie rod, on closer inspection.

I have this knock as well. I thought it was the DMF, because I cannot find anything that has play on the outside.

Check the Upper and Lower torque mount

It was the steering rack mounts, replaced with poly bushes, and you don't have to drop the subframe to do it.
