knocking noise on acceleration

[r_dizzel*]

i just fitted my spacers (25mm hubcentric)

and now everytime i accelerate on low speeds.. e.g moving of
it makes a knocking noise?

from the outside ...the near side alloy moves slightly back and then foward...

anyone know what it could be???

Are the spacers on correct, did you clean the hub surface 1st?

Hmm sounds exactly like mine, except I don't have spacers.. be interested to hear as well.

 

[boffey]

Sounds like mine aswell n I've not got spacers.

ok does anyone know it is?

when i put the steering in full lock when parking it makes a cluck noise? is this related?

 

[boffey]

Could be a driveshaft if it is happening on full lock or the rear engine mount.

Have you checked your wheel bolts are tight?

Have you checked your wheel bolts are tight?

nope .. ill give it a check tomorrow.. could that be a case?

 

[mark123]

First thing I'd check. Mine come loose and make noise. I have a bit of crap between the disc and the hub. I don't have spacers though but I would have thought they'd make any problems of this sort worse.

found out that my noise was the anti-roll bar bush

We have this too & it turned out to be the rearmost bolt that holds the wishbone on to the subframe has elongated the hole in the subframe... a common fault apparently- tightning up the bolt cure's it for a while but I guess it will need welding up.
