Knocking front end on rough roads.

*UPDATE* Checked axle bolt ok, still not sure about the axle itself… so had complete 4 wheel alignment done today at Ian Brown Tyres - Malton UK. Excellent service and competent staff. All steering and suspension and nearby components solid and in good order. Thinking axles or engine mounts for the source of the knocking noise…The quest continues..

What is the torque mount like?

It lives at the very front driver's side of the motor, under the headlight area.

Mine was in half at 250,000klms. My other mounts are fine.

Hi Mike, I completely missed your post - busy times moving house and all that!
No I have not checked the torque mount - I just had the front bumper off replacing a power steering hose - if I had checked the forum earlier I could have checked the mount at that time. It’s Great to have the car back on the road though…

I will be sure to check that - it sure looks involved to get at the torque mount!

Thanks again
