psifed2 Member 69 Member For: 14y 1m 21d Posted 27/12/15 12:46 PM Share Posted 27/12/15 12:46 PM Hey guys iv got a 2003 ba falcon and suddenly about a week ago I have got a knock starting to happen in what sounds like the front end of the car. Its on the drivers side or what feels like. Going over pot holes, drain lids it does it, turning into driveways, and when it does it I can feel it down near my feet..My guess would be front sway bar D mount, iv had a look under and all the mounts look fine to me... not a mechanic but I know when something stuffed lolAny feedback will be appreciated guys thanks.

Nuts come loose or something. Mine does the same, need to find time to muck around under it to check it out.I think? Phil has a post about how he fixes it. Have a search around Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91556-ba-front-end-knock/#findComment-1575103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were ripped and making a similar sound to what you describe when turning at low speed.

psifed2 Member 69 Member For: 14y 1m 21d Posted 08/02/16 09:31 AM Author Share Posted 08/02/16 09:31 AM All fixed guys it was just the stabalizer bar nut that was loose. Had a look under and could see the chrome bit on other side of the nut and could undo it with my fingers all tight now and knocking gone. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91556-ba-front-end-knock/#findComment-1578973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
