Knock and squeak

[Phil_ip]

Hi guys and girls,
I have a couple of annoying noises coming from the car which I was wondering if you could help with the first is a slight knocking noise when pulling out of junctions at slow speeds with not quite full lock?
The next noise is a squeak when turning right over bumpy surfaces?

The car is a 2004 182FF, recently fitted with new ball joints, top mounts &brakes all round.

Shocks leaking at all ?

They don't appear to be leaking at all, will check again tomorrow though.

Any other suggestions people?

Probably top mounts, do a search for the washer fix.

Washer fix even with new top mounts fitted?

 

[Ollieeee]

If they're just standard top mounts then yes, the washers raise them up 3mm so they don't catch. I've just bought a set and it's solved the creaking on full lock/turning over bumps. Still get on occassional knocking.

I did the washer fix with my old top mounts but still had the knocking noise so thinking this could be more of an issue....just a little reluctant to pay for a driveshaft straight away....

Checked gearbox mounts?

I've got a new upper gearbox mount to fit tomorrow &the dogbone is polybushed.

I had something similar, had a cracked front spring changed for the MOT and it appears to have gone
