unidentify cracking noise



  clio sport mk1
For several months now, I have this cracking noise from the right front of my 172 ph1.

At the service place they could not identify where is the source of the noise.

The shocks are new (koni sport) and also the shocks rubber base is new. beside...the noise was there before the shock replacment.

I hear the crackes when the shocks "works", thats mean while braking or accelerating or while terning. The noise is almost unheard while passing on crack in the road.

Is it the stabilizer?
Is it the right wishbone?

Thanx!

if you have a strut bar check it!also if you use your new koni suspension with the original springs check that the suspensions at the rebound "works"(the suspension is not "ending" at the rebound)!

the only thing I can say , I also had the same problem, is the bearing of the top mount!the top mount it is constituted by 3 parts the upper mount-a midle rubber ring and inside it a bearing!this you can check it if you turn the wheels to end right or left and from stop to accelerate!if you hear the same noise that means the bearing needs replace!the cost is about 30 euros=20 pounds!
