Hi guys, my car has been making a loud knock noise at random times, mostly if I move off and brake suddenly, or if I'm reversing up a gradient (up a hill/driveway) or when performing a three-point turn. It feels like it is coming from the floor/footwell area.
This all started after I had my wishbone bushes changed and my car started pulling to the left and then went to the right if I accelerated. So at the time, we checked it and it turns out one of the subframe bolts had snapped causing the waywardness. Once replaced, car drove straight but knock was still there. So mechanic has looked at it again and noticed that there was a lot of play in the dogbone mount.
I just wanted to clarify what parts I need/what ones are worth changing. So I found a useful picture:
The part I've been told to get shown below:
My question is, if there is a lot of play in this mount, is it not the actual round part that needs changing (where the red powerflex insert is in the first picture) where the slim end of the dogbone attaches to? That is a separate part in itself?
If this is correct, will I also be needing that part (please confirm if the one shown below is the right one):
Thanking you in advance!
