Slight knock on front drivers side

[shab_the_man]

Guys

Recently noticed a slight knock coming from driver side wheel when going over bumps. I have changed the ARB link but the knock is still there.
What do you think it could be?

Maybe compliance bush?

Compliance bushes are usually the next port of call if the ARB replacement didn't solve the knock.

No idea what the compliance bush is but take a look at the lower wishbone outer joint, i.e. where the rubber bush/ball joint joins the stub axel carrier, you may find excess movement up and down there.

I'll have a check of them also.
Any other suggestions welcome.

Shock absorber maybe.

Yeah, is your car lowered on lowering springs? If so, for how long? Could be prematurely worn on the shocks. I believe I have this, but no money to fix it at the moment .

No not lowered Steve, not lowered this one as the roads up north are horrible

Shabz have you had the car on a ramp yet.
If not it might be a good plan then you can have have a proper look for play in all the joints.

As the guys have said, I'd start with the ARB bushes - though the fronts are a pig to do. From there check the compliance bushes (a pry bar will tell you all you need to know), shocks or one last thing is check that it's not the steering rack!? Can you feel it through the wheel?
