Knocking from the front

Post by wardy124 » Thu Mar 14, 2013 8:18 pm

Hi all,

I had a knocking noise coming from the front right corner over the weekend so decided to do a bit of investigation today after work....

Looks like the upper forward control arm is dead, no bush left at all, rattling around nicely!
I've read that it's worth changing all of the arms at the same time so I'm on the search for a complete kit for the front end, could anyone recommend a kit and where to get it from?! I've heard the Meyle HD kit is good?

Unfortunately while I had the wheel off I noticed the inner drive shaft boot is split so I had a look the other side and same story...
Looks like they've been like it for a while so i would like to change both drive shafts just to make sure...
Again, is there anywhere recommended for the parts?

The rocker covers are weeping a bit too so once again.... Looking for a full kit with the plug and half moon seals if possible

Looks like it was an expensive investigation....

If possible I'd like to get everything together, I'm living in France so it'd be good to get everything from the same place to at least save on postage!!
Or if anyone knows of a supplier in Germany I'm right on the border and have a German delivery address I could use?!

Thanks
Paul
