almostinvincible119 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Posted this in the suspension section and got nothing ...I know the knock issue has been beat to death, but my issue is a little unique. I pulled the A-arms off not long ago to do the clutch so I could remove the half shafts, and after reinstalling I had a knock on the passengers side right as I put my foot on the brakes and sometimes when taking off from a stop. I searched on the forums and read that it might be my endlinks or the rear bushing on the arm, so since they all were looking thrashed, I decided to replace them. For about 100 miles the knocking stopped and now it has returned. Any ideas? Could that nut that holds the rear of the A-arm up have come loose? I've tried tightening it, but it seems fairly solid to me. Any help will be appreciated. My fiancé is going to start driving the car and I already know this is going to be a point to bitch about. I would rather not take to a stealership. THANKS GUYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 IMO you don't need a dealership. Go find a good local mechanic that has a alignment mechine. The guy's there will have all the knowledge to fix the issue. You need to go to the Stealership for anything. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

almostinvincible119 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks Max. I've got a pretty experienced alignment guy that ive used for years. I'll have him check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I just wonder if you accidentally did swap right and left side driveshaft. Not that it should really matter but you never know. What can be is that there is a wear point in a CVT joint that causes the knocking since it's no longer aligned as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
