Slight knock developing on front end?

Hi Folks.
I have started to develop a slight
knock on my front suspension when
going over bumps.
Any ideas what to look for before I
start replacing bushes etc?
Cheers

Basics really when knocking, get it on a ramp and check for movement with a lever bar sir Thumbs Up

Recently changed all mine, track rod ball joints where shot, and the 4 lower ball joints and arms, all parts sorced from Dan at Duckworth LR Thumbs Up If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

mine started knocking from the front nearside, turned out to be a very slightly worn track rod end, replaced it and the knock went away.

I had a lower track control arm replaced for a similar noise but in reality it could be any part of the front suspension. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Check the Anti-Roll Bar Drop Links, they're a common reason for the knocking.
Fairly easy to check, cheap to replace and easy to replace too. Thumbs Up

MOT man passed the car with an advice on the o/s Bottom ball joint.
Bought the part, fitted it in an hour and its sorted. £50 for the part and fitted with a mate.
Thanks Folks

Happy days Thumbs Up

Well worth having an alignment check done now though sir as once you notice the front tyres wearing it will be too late! And a lot more expensive than a geometry check Thumbs Up
