    Front end knock

    Hi all
    I've got a knocking sort of noise coming from the front right it's been there for ages but abit worse now.
    It doesn't do it at speed or with bigger bumps it's more low speed small bumps
    I've had a new cusco arb with drop links and the sound didn't change and I can't find anything obvious anyone else had this?

    Yeah I did it was the ball joint on n/s stabiliser arm(the bent one) connected to the bottom of the hub I would suggest checking this if you haven't already hope this helps

    Banana arms can certainly cause knocking.

    Anyone selling a known good one of these for offside for sale? I don't fancy the price of a new one in case it isn't that

    Can I ask where you got one from in the end? I see them on Camskill, but nowhere else. Thanks.

    Be very careful with cheap aftermarket ones - we have had members use these and have catastrophic failures.

    I would recommend only purchasing from Camskill or Mitsubishi for these suspension arms.

    I think it's only really the bottom arms where you have to be careful (i'd only ever buy Mitsu ones). The top arms will let you know when they are failing, the bottom ones just snap.
