knocking from passenger front
Im getting a knocking from the front passenger side when i turn the steering wheel.
i took the wheel off last night and had a look. The track rods end, drop link and wishbone all look tired and old but i cant see any damage or feel any play when im pulling on them. Any ideas on what it might be? I have mot coming on sarurday so need it sorted sharpish.
Is it possibly something to do with the spacer on the alloy wheel?
cheers
Chris

what kind of knocking? When stationary and turning the wheel back and forth (ARB bush/droplink) or when moving and turning a circle?

Anti roll bar bushes at a guess. Single clunk as you turn?

That'll be anti roll bar related. Arb bush or droplink. Very remote chance could be a ball joint but id put money on the arb.
