Knocking From Front

[Mcgawn]

hi my car has developed a knock or should i say pop from the from, it happens when changing gear as in putting the clutch down fast, it also happens when i put my pedal on the gas quick. it also seems to happen when going over bumps. My gear linkage is loose i think also the gears feel as if they are in neutral when in gear could this be the problem or is it more likely a wishbone/ball joint or engine mount?? any help on this matter would be much appreciated as the noise is developing and driving me insane lol

The way youve described it I would definitely say either a gearbox or engine mount is knackered

[Mcgawn]

As in full gearbox? How would i be able to tell that? Would i just have to eliminate all other possibilities?

Get the car jacked up on axles stands & check for play in the mount/s mate.Also check the condition of the rubber doughnut bush on the lower mount.As they perish over time.

Kl stevo67 i will give that a bash tommorow, weather dependant obviously lol and report bk with my findings if any

[Mcgawn]

Had a slight check over ball joints drop link track rods and all seemed well, then the rain cam so never got time to check the back mount. Also how do i check the strut mounts? So i can check them tommorow after i check the back mount

[Ross]

have you checked the engine mounts?

[Mcgawn]

Yeah slight movement in top left 1 but i dont really know how much is to much if any lol

[Mcgawn]

Any1 on how to check strut mounts and/or how much play should there be in mounts if any lol?
