Title: Front end knock
Post by macroy on Oct 23^rd, 2006, 4:18pm

When I go over a bump or rough surface I get a loud knock that seems to come from the nearside front somewhere.I took the car to a mechanic who jacked up the front end completely and he examined it and told me there was nothing wrong.Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Probably your anti-roll bar bushes. For some strange reason they drop out.....that's why mechanics can't find anything wrong.....no kidding!! ;)

Dead easy to fix, and not expensive. There's probably a picture of them on the site, but not sure where.

Hope it helps you. ;)

The info is HERE (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/suspension/FSuspStabiliser.pdf). Simple job and the bushes are cheap.
