s40 knocking suspension

[graemewelch]

today i looked at a mates car, its a 2004 s40 2.0d. i removed the wheels and its got a new wishbone and has no play in any suspension components. the noises its making is terrible. sounds as if somthing is realy loose and very worn. only thing i can think of is a worn bearing at the top of strut. has anyone come across this issue on a s40

subframe bushes, also check exhaust if it's still hanging (had it once that the exhaust was the cause with it's banging in under the car whilst driving)

definitly isnt exhaust knocking. its coming from the front passanger side. im not wanting to get to involved with it but would like to point him in right direction

in that case suspect subframe and/or engine mount bushes

could be subframe bushed but. engine felt solid.

i had a quick look and they seemed ok. this knock is so bad that youd think you could see what was worn

Most likely drop link had same problem with ours all looked fine when jacked up as they were taking weight but when on 4 post lift with wheels on ground it had loads of play

my old v40 had a rollbar mount snap and the rollbar was tapping on the bulkhead on every tiny bump....
