I've fitted Powerflex bushes to the wishbones and inner+outer ARB at the same time,
Went for a test drive and found the car knocks when braking very hard, sounds very similar to the noise you get from accelerating with worn engine mounts when the manifold hits the ARB.
After I finish braking and as soon as I start accelerating, it knocks again, as if something moves out and back into place.
It also knocks when steering more than half a turn while stationary, since it started to knock under hard braking.
I removed the front ARB from the car, and found out the knock was almost certainly gone. Put it back in, and the knock returned.
-All engine\gearbox mounts are tight, vibra+powerflex mounts, no excessive engine or gear stick movement.
-All nuts and bolts for the Top mounts, ARB bushes clips, wishbones, subframe, balljoints, calipers and carriers, front shocks
-Springs are sitted correctly
Seems related to the Powerflex ARB bushes, but they were fitted correctly, inner ones with the groove at the bottom, outers with the square housed inside the wishbones.
Any ideas?
