Hi all I need your help as I’m stumped trying to locate a knocking rattling noise, the noise is only when going round a roundabout with bumpy rd surface mainly or if I go up a kerb with steering turned , now I first thought drop links as that’s what it sounds like so I replaced them and polybushed the arb too, the strut tops are new polybushed too, I get no noise hitting bumps or holes etc when wheels are straight, the ball joints and track rod ends have no play and road springs are not broken , cv joints are quite (tested full lock both ways in car park), so what else could it be had a quick look and dog mount is also polybushed (yellow) , help please it’s odd as only happens if steering turned and bumpy/holes in rd

Had this on my mk1 Cupra R years ago. Had all suspension bushes replaced and problem solved!

For genuine could be about right but try Listers in the forum sponsor section, Mike will sort you a good price. If you want to upgrade I believe the cast TT arms fit but not done it myself.

Or you can put a cheap one in from ECP, about the £30 mark and get some poly bushes in them or the old ones.

But why you looking to change the arms if all bushes are good on them?
