Knocking noise from under front of car / front suspension

Jul 28, 2003 1 Replies

Hi all



I own a R plate (1997) Mk4 Fiesta Flight with a Zetec-SE engine. When I purchased the car there was a slight knocking noise from the nearside front suspension when I drove a little too enthusiastically over speed bumps. This has since got worse, and occurs when driving over un-even road surfaces. It is most prevalent during slower (0-30mph) speeds, hardly noticable at speeds greater than 50mph.



Am I right in saying this is a common Fiesta problem? Is it linked to the metal arms that join the suspension to the anti-roll bar?



Thanks for any advice, Moby.

It does sound like its the anti-roll bar links as you say. They are fairly prone to wear and they are noticeable at slow speeds like you describe.
