Hello,

My car started to make knocking noises everytime I drive on a really bumpy road (hume highway for sydney people) and its really irritating.

I dont feel any handling issues and my strut looks fine not bent.

What is that annoying noise coming from?!@#

front upper arm inner bush

shock lower bush

caster rod bushes

front swaybar links

front swaybar mounting bushes

steering rack worn

steering column bush worn

front inner rack ends

front outer rack ends

front left inner cv

front left outer cv

front right inner cv

front right outer cv

front caliper bolts

engine mount

gearbox mount

tailshaft uni joint

tailshaft centre bearing

diff backlash

rear left inner cv

rear left outer cv

rear right inner cv

rear right outer cv

rear subframe bushes

rear LCA inner bushes

rear LCA ball joint

rear traction arm inner bush

rear UCA inner bush

rear UCA outer bush

rear swaybar links

rear swaybar mounts

rear steering rack

rear inner rod ends

rear outer steering ball joints

rear shock upper bush

or maybe it's in the interior. hard to tell exactly from the description

What Duncan did was list everything possible from the description you gave but if you give more detail it could be narrowed down without going through that whole list.

Does it do it when you accelerate on smooth road or brake hard on smooth road? Does it sound like its coming from a corner? Which corner? Is it a metal sound or a hollow sound(hollow sound as in knocking on your steering wheel vs tapping on a piece of metal). My car does something similar, in the rear corner. I have a leaky shock. Its like constant tapping in the rear right with every bump on the road.

Hey All,

Sorry for the late replies.

Ducan, thanks again for the list and it seems like it was the top mount and prob the outer ball joint as well.

Its all sweet now. Now im not paranoid of losing control at higher speeds, now for some normal driving speeds.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
