Had a knocking noise on the front end of my car , so it has had the front rear arms changed , track rod ends and front arms. the knock is reduced but still there , the garage tells me that the anti roll bar bushes are solid but there is a little play in the tie rod ? does this sound right to u guys ??

Could be the bearing on the top of the strut , sadly it's all one piece so it's a new strut onto no6 Range Rover

Everyone needs a hobby

did they change the tie rods as well?

no not the tie rod

Betcha it is the ARB links, even if they appear solid  .

the drop links ? or the anti roll bar bushes ?

Change the anti roll bar tie rods. They are reasonably cheap and easy to change. Can be don in situ. They can make a right racket for their size too. I've had 3 l322's and changed them on em all

I have been to the garage this morning and they have took the gator off the steering tie rod and it seems there is a lot of movement in the joint. So new ones ordered and going back tomorrow to get them fitted. I will report back tomorrow.

Went back to my trust garage this morning , they change both of the steering tie rods and........ its all gone quiet !!!
Yep all the noises have gone , i am not surprise as i have replaced 2 x front arms , 2 x front rear arms , 2 x ball joints , 2 x tie rods .

Its as tight as a drum now and feels great , lets hope it stays fixed for a while haha.

It's had plenty of new shiny bits then.
Shame it wasn't diagnosed very well from the sounds of it... 2007 Vogue TDV8 with 255/55/20's fitted

To be honest all the arms that were replaced the rubbers were gone anyway , i think it had multiple problems hence why the last owner sold it.
Wheel alignment done this morning so all finished.
