Front Right strut noise

[RJB]

Arrr humbugg,

Don't now if anyone else here has this but I'll post it anyway. My front right strut or something is making a click/knock noise under load when braking.

I tried replicating the noise by backing up and going forward serveral times to listen to it and it appears to only happen under braking conditions (medium to heavy braking applications).

It's just a small movement in the strut or controll arms some were. I have heard of others having the control arm bushes go on them, but its hard to pin point because you can't replicate the problem without driving it and braking.

I had a good clean up of the suspension components a couple of weeks ago but couldn't see any obviously problems like wear , loose parts or large gaps etc and all seemed pretty tight to me.

I will have to have another good look at it, however any idea's are appreciated.

Cheers,

RJB.

perhaps the caster rod bush is gone!

would have some grease around if it did split!

what about that shock, is the car lowered? maybe the shock is gone and bottoming out?

all guesses of course!
