only a thought but its not something obvious like a loose spare etc and the noise is being transmitted to the front.. ... - .- -.

I suggested ARB bushes earlier but having looked at Rave I see they are not actually replaceable - they are bonded to the ARB and are not listed as a separate part ! |

although the armoured RR version seems like it has seperate bushes available which I thought was odd. V8 or else ... |

Yes the ARB bushes could cause this noise as the force transmitted from the drop links would make noise that sounded multiple times with one strike, seems logical? Only problem is how can they be replaced? Would the engine need to be dropped with the sub-frame or can it be threaded through the wheel arch, seems as though a few of us have this noise so it may be worth a try. . . . .

But as mentioned, they are not replaceable unless you have the armoured version. You would have to buy a new ARB. Rave says drop the sub frame to replace the ARB. |

As mentioned above, removing a drop link should confirm or eliminate the ARB. Definately worth a shot before spending money or serious time removing the sub frame.

This is a really long shot but I had a similar problem and it turned out that one of the plastic clips on the headlight had snapped so the light was slightly loose and it made a loud knocking noise which was probably amplified by the wing. I was convinced it was coming from the suspension. Give the headlight a good shake and see what happens. |

I love this type of suggestion, will now be feeling upbeat and optimistic all day until I can get out and have a look at the headlight later this evening.

Can't help I'm afraid.

Just had a look at mine. I did remove the light to replace the washer motor, it's all solid. As mine only started after fitting a Dunlop air strut I'm thinking of replacing it with a Delphi one. No doubt the other side will go soon and if the knock is still there I can keep it for a spare |
