knocking front suspension

Post by DanDiesel »

hopefully someone will know (ie-tom)
i have a a 52 plate ibiza and it sounds like the front suspension may be knocking.
is this a common thing on this model ibiza, and will buying new springs and dampers (eg-koni) stop this problem?

any advice would be much appreciated

regards

Its probably the anti roll bar bushes and brackets broken. Common fault on the 9n chassis I believe.

well got it checked out 2day and the garage said that they couldn't find anything wrong but that they could here the knocking. they said the only thing it could be were the anti roll bar bushes but weren't willing to change them unless a fault was confirmed.
