Thread: Slightly knocking noise on bumps in the front?

    Slightly knocking noise on bumps in the front?

    You can hear it more on the driverside than the passenger side. I'm thinking controls arms/bushings? She has ~65k miles.

    First thing I'd look at is sway bar links/ bushings. Disconnect the link and take it for a quick test drive to rule them out.

    Good point and cheapest place to start. Thanks Matt.

    I have a bad inner tie rod that has been making noise for quite some time. I also had the bad sway bar bushings but those have been replaced.

    I got an inner from Rock Auto for like $50, but don't know if it fits yet. According to the dealer you have to get the whole rack if an inner tie rod goes out. $$$

    I could be wrong but I believe a member of the other forum was able to swap out the inners. Im thinking it was KMAX, not sure though.
