    New subframe bushes
    All engine mounts

    So as you can see every component has been replaced.
    I have no idea how you managed to do all that for £300-350. I'm looking at £400-500 for a front control arm kit alone unless I settle for a cheapo eBay £100 kit which will probably fall apart.

    You don't need to buy the whole arm. The forward bushes cost me £18 and they were febi bilstein and the larger aluminium housed rear ones were if I recall £40 for the pair and they were lemforder.

    Funny you should mention that. I know the manager very well at my local Kwik Fit so he said pop down tomorrow. But the crazy thing is I think I have solved it. I decided for one more tear down but went the whole hog and pulled the shocks and springs out. The top side of the strut mount which you cannot see looked out of place. On further inspection it looks like it has lost it shape quite a bit. So popped a new one on and have been for a drive with no evidence of the knocking. Going back out shortly for a much further distance so fingers crossed.

    20200912_180323.jpg Looking at it now the silver disc at the top is sitting square. When I removed the shock and spring one side was not visible and buried in the rubber and the other side was raised quite high.

    Have you ever spent time on a rolling road with an engine you have just spent thousands building? For anyone who suffers from mechanical sympathy it is a sphincter clenching experience

    Do you have any audio clips or videos of what the sound was like, just curious if it's similar to mine?. Glad you finally sorted it

    I've had a noise for the last couple of years, always thought it was the drop links. Was it just a knocking going over an uneven surface?
